2019年7月31日 · Vitamin C orchestrates the function of the human immune system by supporting various aspects of both the innate and adaptive immune system including epithelial barrier function, chemotaxis and antimicrobial activities of phagocyte cells, natural killer (NK) cell functions, and lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation.

In addition to directly affecting immune cells, vitamin C also acts as an important antioxidant to the cells of the immune system. It can help protect cells from both endogenously and exogenously produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) during an immune response .

We here (i) review the impact of vitamin C on innate and adaptive immune functions, (ii) provide an overview of its antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal properties, and finally, (iii) discuss vitamin C as an adjunct treatment option for the combat of human infections by bacteria, particularly by emerging ...

2022年11月6日 · Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune system. Because your body cannot make vitamin C, it must come from the foods you eat every day. Research shows vitamin C is essential for the growth and repair of tissue all over the body.

2017年11月3日 · Our review explores the various roles of vitamin C in the immune system, including barrier integrity and leukocyte function, and discusses potential mechanisms of action. We discuss the relevance of the immune-modulating effects of vitamin C in the context of infections and conditions leading to vitamin C insufficiency.

Vitamin C boosts the immune system by enhancing the production of white blood cells and acting as a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. Its significance in supporting the immune system is particularly noteworthy.

What is the connection between Vitamin C and the immune system? Vitamin C is crucial for immune system function. It enhances the production of white blood cells, which are vital for fighting infections. Additionally, it acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage. This combination helps maintain a robust immune response against pathogens.
