Beauty Tips For Body Care
I know, you’ve “reddit” a zillion times, how oxidized vitamin C is so terrible for your skin. But is it true?It has been known for decades that vitamin C is necessary for proper collagen formation. This knowledge was gained by scientists studying the disease called scurvy. Cells called fibroblasts create and deposit collagen into the basement membrane and connective tissues of the skin, keeping the skin pliable and elastic. The specific function of vitamin C in this process occurs in a sub-compartment of the cell called the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Obviously then, vitamin C must be able to get inside the ER to perform this important function, but something that has not been clear has been how vitamin C gets into the ER.But in just the past few years, researchers studying a different disease have made inroads into this vitamin C transport mechanism, and in an article published just this week provide further experimental data that strongly supports a surprising conclusion: That vitamin C is transported into the ER in its oxidized form called dehydroascorbic acid.http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/18/8/1820/htm
