Supports the normal function of the immune system

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system both under normal physiological conditions and during and after intense physical exercise (with an additional intake of at least 200 mg/day beyond the recommended daily intake).

Numerous studies have shown that an adequate vitamin status contributes to the proper functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells, promoting the body's response to environmental and oxidative stress.

Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

Ascorbic acid is one of the body's main water-soluble antioxidants.

Neutralizes free radicals, regenerates oxidized vitamin E, and contributes to the protection of cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidative processes associated with cellular aging and exposure to environmental factors.

Numerous systematic reviews have highlighted the role of vitamin C in reducing oxidative stress involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Promotes the normal formation of collagen
Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the physiological function of:
• skin
• cartilage
• bones
• gums
• teeth
• blood vessels

Ascorbic acid is in fact an essential cofactor of the prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase enzymes, indispensable for the maturation of collagen fibers.

For this reason, an adequate intake is particularly interesting during aging, in athletes, smokers, and individuals with increased connective tissue turnover.

Supports energy metabolism
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Several observational studies show how low plasma levels of vitamin C are frequently associated with an increased feeling of physical and mental fatigue.

Supports the nervous system and cognitive functions
Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function.

In the central nervous system, it participates in the synthesis of important neurotransmitters, including dopamine and noradrenaline, and protects nervous tissue from oxidative stress.

Recent studies suggest that an adequate vitamin status may contribute to the maintenance of cognitive function during aging.

Promotes iron absorption
Vitamin C increases the absorption of non-heme iron contained in plant foods by transforming it into the most easily assimilable form.

For this reason, it represents a particularly useful nutritional support in individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or in case of increased iron requirements.

Contributes to the regeneration of vitamin E
Vitamin C contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, creating an antioxidant synergy essential for the protection of lipid-rich cell membranes.

A pure, essential, and uncompromising vitamin C
Pure Vitamin C Moltitudo is made exclusively with pharmaceutical-grade L-ascorbic acid, produced in Europe, in vegan form, and prepared according to officinal standards under the direct control of a pharmacist.

The formulation is deliberately essential:

• without unnecessary technological additives

A formulation choice designed to offer a pure, high-quality product also suitable for those who wish to avoid superfluous excipients.

What is Moltitudo Pure Vitamin C used for?
It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the formation of collagen, the reduction of tiredness and normal energy metabolism.

Why take 1 gram of vitamin C a day?
A daily intake of 1 g is often used as a nutritional supplement to support the body's natural defenses and increase the availability of vitamin C in the tissues, while remaining within levels that are generally well tolerated by healthy adults.

Is vitamin C useful during seasonal changes?
Yes. During periods of greater physical or environmental stress, it can contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and protection from oxidative stress.

Does vitamin C help the skin?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen, which is essential for maintaining the skin's physiological structure.
Does vitamin C improve iron absorption?
Yes. It is one of the few nutrients recognized by the EFSA as being able to increase the absorption of dietary iron.

Does this product contain additives?
No. The Moltitudo formulation contains only pure vitamin C without preservatives, colorings, added chemicals or unnecessary technological additives.

Is vitamin C vegan?
Yes. The raw material is of plant origin and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Where is it produced?
Vitamin C is produced in Europe according to high quality standards and packaged as a medicinal preparation under the supervision of a pharmacist.

What is the difference between a medicinal and an industrial production?
Medicinal preparation prioritizes accurate quality controls, small production batches and greater attention to the purity of the formulation, avoiding non-essential excipients.

Can vitamin C be taken all year round?
Yes. If used according to the recommended doses, it can provide valuable nutritional support throughout the year, especially in the presence of increased requirements or reduced dietary intake.

Is it recommended for athletes?
Yes. Intense physical activity increases the production of free radicals; vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and supports physiological recovery.

Can it be combined with other Moltitudo supplements?
Yes. Vitamin C easily complements formulations dedicated to immune well-being, collagen, cardiovascular health and the control of oxidative stress.
