Vitamin C Ester - the Key to Looking Young

We take it for granted. We find it in strawberries, pineapples and jampacked in oranges. We see it every day in the grocery store and on TV commercials. But we never knew that it was the secret to getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines in our faces. Yes, I'm talking about vitamin C. Thanks to research it has now been proven vitamin C, in its correct form, would help your face look smooth and have your skin glowing.

Vitamin C is known as the antioxidant star (antioxidants are known to vanquish the free radicals, these are molecules that damage our cells beyond repair and accelerate the aging process). Vitamin C, along with two other All-Stars, vitamin D and alpha lipoic acid, are antioxidants that play a crucial role in helping us look younger.

Vitamin C increases the strength of our body's white blood cells. White blood cells are the main defense against any invasion of bacteria or viruses. Vitamin C also gives your immune system a boost. It has been well documented that people who do not get enough vitamin C are more susceptible to infections and illness from cold to cancer.

Vitamin C is the main ingredient for the production of collagen. Collagen is a connective tissue that basically holds us together. If we didn't have collagen we'd literally fall apart, since this protein keeps our skeletons together, attaches muscle to bones and maked sure our organs stay in the right place.

Vitamin C Ester is a form of vitamin C that can be applied to the skin. Vitamin C Ester is basically ascorbic acid - the base form of vitamin c - paired with a fatty acid that is removed from palm oil, called palmitic acid. This combination takes Vitamin C from just an ingested vitamin to a vitamin that can be used as an effective skin treatment. This compound does not irritate and can actually be used on an open wound without causing any pain.

Vitamin C Ester is also fat-soluble. This means it can be easily absorbed into the skin and also can penetrate a cells encasement which is nothing more than a thin membrane. This is important because it allows Vitamin C Ester to protect at the highest level against free radicals at the exact spot they do their most damage.

So if you are experiencing fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin or are dealing with a bout from sunburn, try your hand at Vitamin C Ester. It just may be the hidden fountain of youth.
