In addition, it stimulates the production of collagen , which is why it is ideal for the proper functioning of bones, joints, ligaments and for maintaining the health of the skin, hair, gums, as well as muscles and teeth. It also has an effective effect on strengthening blood vessels, veins and capillaries. It also reduces the risk of varicose veins and prevents blood damage , thus reducing the risk of myocardial infarction.
The history of vitamin C Already in 1747, the Scottish doctor James Lind tested the period of citrus fruits on British sailors, thanks to whom he discovered a cure for scurvy. Later. In 1928 , the active ingredient vitamin C was discovered in lemon juice. Ascorbic acid was isolated in the laboratory as the first Nobel Prize winner by Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. The next person who succeeded in synthesizing ascorbic acid was Linus Pauling, who received two Nobel Prizes, one for peace and the other for chemistry. Both lived to the beautiful age of 93, and the fact that they lived to such an advanced age is attributed by many people directly to vitamin C.
