Vitamins are compounds that the body is unable to produce on its own, hence it is necessary to provide them through diet. They are required in small amounts, yet without them, the growth and development of the body are practically impossible. Vitamins do not provide energy but support the metabolism of the components that constitute its source, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A lack of vitamins can be the cause of many disorders.

Die Rolle von Vitamin C

Vitamin C hat eine Vielzahl von Funktionen. Es wird am häufigsten im Winter mitten in der Kälte genutzt, wenn wir Fieber bekommen. Aufgrund seiner Rolle bei der Aufrechterhaltung der Hautintegrität wird angenommen, dass Vitamin C unseren Körper vor Krankheitserregern schützt. Außerdem ist Ascorbic Acid für die Synthese von Kollagen notwendig. Es ist wichtig für Knochen, Zähne, Gelenkgewebe, Glieder und Blutgefäße. Es unterstützt die Heilung der Wunden.

Vitamin-C-Mangel-Symptome

Die empfohlene tägliche Einnahme von Vitamin C hängt von Alter und Geschlecht ab und sollte bei 90 mg für Männer über 18 Jahren, 75 mg für Frauen, 8085 mg für Schwangere und 115120 mg für Säuglingsfrauen gehalten werden.

Vitamin-C-Mangel wirkt

Ein starker Vitamin-C-Mangel kann zu Erkrankungen führen: Skorbut bei Erwachsenen und Rottung bei Kindern. Bei Jüngsten sind es Ankerheit und Veränderungen in den Knochen, die zu ihrer Fehlbildung führen. Erwachsene leiden an Knotenkrankheiten. Blutungen und Zahnflecken, Zahnentzündung, was zu Zahnfalen führt. Diese Patienten zeigen eine verminderte Temperaturanpassung, eine geschwächte körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit, sind anfälliger für Müdigkeit und eine stärkere Regeneration.

Vitamin-C-Quellen

Vitamin C ist vor allem in unseren pflanzlichen Produkten vorhanden, hauptsächlich in rohen Gemüse und Früchten. Die anderen Früchte, die als seine wertvollste Quelle angesehen werden, sind Zitronen, aber das ist nicht wahr. Das meiste Ascorbic-Säure ist in wildroten und schwarzen Fruchtkörpern, in denen wir bis zu 800 mg und 300 mg pro 100 g des Produkts finden, entsprechend. Im Vergleich zu Zitroen enthält nur 40 60 mg/100 g des Produkt.
