Metabolics Vitamin C

What is Metabolics Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that must be obtained daily through diet, as the body cannot produce or store it. It’s found in fresh fruits and vegetables, but is easily lost through cooking or prolonged storage. Concentrated in metabolically active organs like the adrenal glands and brain, vitamin C plays a vital role in immunity, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defence.

Metabolics Vitamin C provides 100% pure ascorbic acid in an easy-to-take capsule, free from fillers, binders, and artificial additives.

Advisory Note: Consuming greater than 1000mg may cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals If you have a sensitive stomach, we recommend our Vitamin C Buffered (90 capsules). 

Who is Metabolics Vitamin C for?

Metabolics Vitamin C is ideal for individuals looking to support immune function, energy production, skin integrity, and joint health. It is particularly relevant for those experiencing physical or emotional stress, individuals with low fruit and vegetable intake, vegetarians who may require enhanced iron absorption, athletes or those with high levels of physical activity, and anyone prone to fatigue or recurring infections.

Vitamin C is rapidly absorbed in the intestines and reaches peak levels in the bloodstream within approximately two hours. However, it is also quickly metabolised and excreted, with blood levels often declining within 3–4 hours. Due to this short half-life, smaller, more frequent doses may be more effective than a single large dose. Vitamin C requirements may increase during periods of stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, or when taking certain medications, such as some antibiotics, which can accelerate its depletion.

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Collagen Formation
Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase—enzymes that catalyse the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues in procollagen. This hydroxylation is critical for the stabilisation of collagen’s triple-helix structure, which gives connective tissues their strength and elasticity. Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis is impaired, leading to weakened tissue integrity, evident in symptoms of scurvy such as bleeding gums, joint pain, and fragile skin.

Nervous System & Psychological Function
Vitamin C supports normal nervous system function and contributes to psychological wellbeing. It acts as a cofactor for dopamine β-hydroxylase, enabling the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine—important for mood, alertness, and stress response. It also plays a role in the metabolism of tyrosine, folic acid, and tryptophan, helping to produce key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, and serotonin. Additionally, vitamin C supports neurotransmitter activity, myelin formation, and receptor function in the brain, helping to maintain mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall neurological health.

Energy-Yielding Metabolism
Vitamin C is indispensable in the biosynthesis of carnitine, a compound responsible for transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation—an essential step in ATP production. This explains the link between vitamin C deficiency and physical fatigue, as carnitine depletion directly impairs cellular energy production.

Immune System Function
Vitamin C supports both innate and adaptive immunity. It enhances the function of phagocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, and modulates cytokine production. It also maintains immune competence during and after intense physical exercise.

Antioxidant Defence
As a potent free radical scavenger, vitamin C protects DNA, proteins, and lipids from oxidative damage. It also regenerates oxidised vitamin E, supporting the antioxidant defence network throughout the body.

Iron Absorption
Non-haem iron (found in plants) is less bioavailable than haem iron. Vitamin C reduces ferric iron (Fe³⁺) to the more absorbable ferrous form (Fe²⁺) and forms soluble iron complexes, enhancing uptake in the small intestine. This function is especially important for vegetarians, menstruating women, and individuals with low iron status.

Reduction of Fatigue
Vitamin C contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue, particularly through its role in carnitine production and immune resilience. It is rapidly used up in times of physical or emotional stress, smoking, or illness.

Signs of deficiency

·         Frequent infections
·         Fatigue and low energy
·         Easy bruising
·         Bleeding gums or nosebleeds
·         Joint or muscle aches
·         Slow wound healing
·         Dry, splitting hair or rough skin

Severe deficiency results in scurvy, historically seen in people with no access to fresh produce for extended periods.
