Why take ZINCORBIC-C CAPSULES ?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient found in some foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy. People are also exposed to free radicals in the environment from cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet light from the sun.
The body also needs Vitamin C to make collagen, a protein required to help wounds heal. In addition, vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and helps the immune system work properly to protect the body from disease.
Zinc – is an essential mineral known to support hormone balance, the normal function of the immune system and the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. A commonly used supplement to support the immune system and to defend against colds and flu.
Zinc is also responsible for supporting regular hair, skin, and nail growth by contributing to the normal metabolism of Vitamin A in the body.
