뇌와 부신은 우리 몸에서 비타민C (아스코르브산염, Ascorbate)가 가장 높게 농축되어 있는 기관으로 생각, 아이디어, 기분, 행동, 스트레스
등 매일매일 수 없는 많은 기능과 역할을 수행합니다. 활성산소는 우리가 생각할때, 느낄때, 움직일때, 즉
뇌를 사용할 때에 생기게 되는데, 비타민C가 우리 뇌에 고농축되어
있다는 것은 체내에 쌓인 활성산소를 무력화시키는 항산화 능력과 직접적인 관련이 있습니다.
비타민C는 신경계 건강에서 여러 다양한 역할과 기능을 수행합니다. 즉, 뇌에서 인지능력을 지원하고 신경충돌을 방지하는 신경세포와 수초(Myelin sheath)의 성장을 촉진하며, 우리의 기분과 행동을 밝게하는 신경전달체인 도파민과 세로토닌의 전환을 도우며, 콜라겐의 한 구성요소이기도 합니다.
이렇듯 비타민C는 우리 몸의 환절기 건강 등 면역력 개선에만 관여되는 것이 아니라 두뇌건강, 신경계 건강, 그리고 스트레스 관리에 중요한 역할을 하고 있습니다.
헬스2000코리아에서 판매중인 Lighthouse의 리포캡 비타민C는 체내 비타민C 부족시 많은 도움이 됩니다. 이 제품의 특징은 비타민C가 리포좀 캡슐로 제조되어 섭취시 체내 세포와 림프관으로 바로 전달되도록 설계되어 비타민C의 효과를 극대화시켰습니다.

Vitamin C is for more than just immunity!
By Ben Smyth, Naturopath
When you think of vitamin C, the first thing that may come to mind is protection from those winter ills and chills. This is correct; however what prompted that very thought was partly because of vitamin C itself!
Vitamin C and your brain
Your brain and adrenal glands have the highest concentration of ascorbate, or vitamin C, in your body. These mighty organs have a multitude of daily tasks to perform – many that relate to thoughts and ideas, mood, behaviour and stress.
The high concentration of vitamin C in your brain is to do with its amazing antioxidant ability, where it surrenders electrons to neutralise the rogue free radical oxygen molecules. These free radicals are created as your brain burns through glucose while performing all of your movements, feelings and thoughts.
Vitamin C has many other roles when it comes to the health of the nervous system. This includes its involvement in the development of neurons and the myelin sheath that protects nerve impulses throughout the brain, supporting cognitive performance.
Vitamin C is also needed for the conversion of dopamine to serotonin, one of the feel-good neurotransmitters supporting your mood and behaviour.
Additionally, this nutrient is a component of collagen – a protein that provides integrity to blood vessels helping to support cognitive performance as you age.
Vitamin C and your body
Outside the brain, this mighty vitamin continues to support nervous system health and stress management as a function within the adrenal glands. Here the manufacturing of adrenaline and cortisol (our stress hormone) happens, and yes, you guessed it! Vitamin C is involved in both of these cascades.
In fact, the more stressed out you become, the more stress hormones you use, so the more vitamin C you will need. As you can see, this nutrient is a vitally important part of your nervous system, and supports optimal brain health and stress management.
