AK Vitamin C Capsules

AK Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that has many functions in your body.

AK Vitamin C is particularly important for maintaining healthy-looking skin. Your skin cells use this vitamin to protect you from stress caused by pollution, smoking, and UV rays. Your skin also needs vitamin C to create collagen.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant
Vitamin C is the most abundant Trusted Source antioxidant in your skin. Your skin cells store vitamin C to prevent damage from environmental factors. UV rays, pollution, and smoking can all damage your skin by creating free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that pull electrons from your cells and cause damage.

Vitamin C promotes collagen production
Collagen makes up the majority of the dry weight of your skin. Your body needs vitamin C to synthesize this protein. Many of the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) are caused by impaired collagen synthesis.

Vitamin C Brightens skin
Vitamin C inhibits an enzyme called tyrosinase. Tyrosinase converts the amino acid tyrosine into melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its colour.

Vitamin C for treating sun damage
Vitamin C may help reduce the appearance of dark spots caused by sun damage. Topical vitamin C inhibits the production of melanin, which is what gives the skin spot its dark colour.

Vitamin C for preventing skin sagging
Your skin naturally produces less collagen as you get older. A loss in collagen is one factor that causes your skin to sag as you age. Vitamin C may help improve your skin s production of collagen, especially if you spend a lot of time in the sun or are low on dietary vitamin C.

Vitamin C for protecting skin from sun and pollution
Your skin is constantly exposed to damaging UV rays and pollution in the atmosphere that can cause oxidative stress. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to protect your skin from this stress.
