Influence of active materials
Vitamin C of prolonged effect
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) participates in various physiologic processes of the organism: metabolism of connective tissue, synthesis of glucosaminoglycans, strengthens immune system, participates in the metabolism of cholesterol, distinguishes for antioxidative features, strengthens walls of the vessels, necessary for iron adoption. The demand of vitamin C increases in case of frequent and permanent stress, while smoking, having infectious diseases, for elder people, while eating an inferior food.
Vitamin C of prolonged effect is absorbed faster, it has bigger concentration in plasma, but it is slowlier released from the organism, i.e. it is detected in the urine later than usual vitamin C. Thus vitamin C of prolonged effect stays in the organism 2-3 times longer; it is beneficial to use vitamin C of prolonged effect in order to reduce morbidity and mortality from heart and vessel diseases, cancer and respiratory diseases. According to the data of tentative researches the molecular mass of vitamin C of prolonged effect is larger than of usual vitamin C and thus it is considered that because of this reason vitamin C of prolonged effect is filtered slowlier through kidneys and is slowlier released with urine. Fast adoption of vitamin C and its slowlier excretion with urine ensures optimal biochemical activity.
After accomplishing doubly encoded placebo auditorial researches it was determined that vitamin C of prolonged effect causes much less violations of digestive tract and is better tolerated than usual vitamin C.
