American
Nutrition Vitamin C-1000 250 tabs
 Vitamin
C is a water-soluble vitamin that has a
number of biological functions. Acting as an
antioxidant, one of vitamin C’s important functions is to
protect LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. (Only when LDL is
damaged does cholesterol appear to lead to heart disease, and
vitamin C may be one of the most important antioxidant
protectors of LDL.)1 Vitamin C may also protect
against heart disease by reducing the stiffness of arteries and
the tendency of platelets to clump together.2
The antioxidant properties of
vitamin C are thought to protect smokers, as well as people
exposed to secondhand smoke, from the harmful effects of free
radicals. A controlled trial demonstrated the ability of 3 grams
of vitamin C, taken by non-smokers two hours prior to being
exposed to cigarette smoke, to reduce the free radical damage
and LDL cholesterol oxidation associated with exposure to
cigarette smoke.3 The smoke-induced decline in total
antioxidant defense was also diminished. These beneficial
effects were not observed in non-smokers under normal conditions
(no free radical exposure).
