I started to take my Shaklee Sustained Release Vitamin C diligently since 2016 after I had a horrible dry and dull skin. It's one of my MUST TAKE supplements everyday haha.
WHY Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is scientifically known as L-Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid. Humans do not possess the capacity of synthesizing vitamin C inside the body and take them as dietary supplements. It is generally found in various food items, fruits and dietary supplements. It is a vital nutrient in the repairmen of the tissue. The two major parts of the skin-dermis and epidermis; contain the highest amount of vitamin C. Being one of the most vital nutrients of the body, vitamin C provides us with various protective functions to our skin.
Dry Skin: If an optimum amount of vitamin C is ingested on a regular basis, then the probability of having dry skin is reduced. Addition of vitamin C enhances the synthesis of lipids in cell membranes and makes the cell surface smooth. It ultimately reduces the dryness and roughness of the skin.
Treatment of Wounds and Infections: Vitamin C is widely used in wounded regions of the skin. On wounded areas, the presence of vitamin C reduces the production of free radical. Free radicals make the process of healing complicated. So, reduction of free radicals by vitamin C helps in enhancing the process of healing of the particular region. Vitamin C also contributes by increasing the differentiation of keratinocytes and re-establishing the stratum cornium. For treating burns, skin sores and diseases like scurvies are often treated with topical agents of vitamin C.
UV-Ray Protection: Vitamin C protects the skin tissue from the free radical damage. It has keratinocytes in its transport proteins which indicate the uptake of vitamin C when it requires necessary protection from the UV-Ray. It also prevents the DNA damage.
Photo Damage Protection: In damaged skin, vitamin C provides protective effects by increasing the collagen levels by producing the proteins required for collagen. Vitamin C also delays the decay of fibroblasts which is enhanced during aging. Studies have indicated that the topical application of vitamin C for 12 weeks has reduced wrinkling and roughness of skin.
According to the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, the daily intake of vitamin C for more than 18 years old is- 90mg for men, 75 mg for women, 85 mg for pregnant women and 120 mg for breastfeeding women. The highest amount of vitamin C should not exceed 2000mg daily for both men and women.
Why do I love Shaklee SR Vita C?
Because it releases only 100 mg of vitamin C every hour (the amount that can be absorbed by our body). So, 1 tablet of Vita C can last for 5 hours 😉. And Shaklee SR Vita C contains 180 tablets in a bottle which can last for almost 6 months! The cost? Less than RM100 per bottle hehe.
