Vitamin C Booster

($40 per shot)

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is an antioxidant that plays an important
role in the body: it protects the body’s cells from damage. It is also necessary to maintain
the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Studies have shown that it may
help brain function in people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Without the proper amount of ascorbic acid, people are at risk for cardiovascular illness, compromised immune systems, premature aging, increased stress response, and low energy.
Ascorbic acid is one of many antioxidants that can protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants like cigarette smoke. Free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Ascorbic acid may also be beneficial for patients with colds, macular degeneration, inflammation, skin aging, and in those who have suffered from a stroke.
