It is less likely to get sick if you take vitamin C What is the largest organ in the human body? How are you? I’m LOUISA, a pharmacist Today’s topic is Does vitamin C boost your immune system? My channel is about pharmacy and health related information, subscribe my channel and we will increase knowledge together Because of the epidemic, people are becoming more interested in how to improve immunity Vitamin C is a vitamin that we have heard since childhood The adults told us that taking vitamin C prevent us from falling sick or the illness heal faster First, let’s take a look at what vitamins are Vitamin is something that our body cannot produce by itself, So we must get it from food. It means that we must take vitamin C to keep the body functioning normally What is the effect of vitamin C? One of them is to participate in Synthesis of collagen Sounds uselss Collagen is something that those who love beauty only drink there is a history here Lack of vitamin C was the main cause of human death during the previous European famine. Many people suffer from insufficient vitamin C intake Scurvy Also known as sailor’s disease, it was common among those who worked at sea for a long time Symptoms of scurvy include Bleeding gums perifollicular hemorrhage The wound does not heal easily These symptoms are due to the lack of collagen in the body And collagen is the main component of our connective tissue It helps us maintain the structure and elasticity of skin, bones and cartilage. One day, there was a man named Captain James Cook, He showed the sailors that eating more vegetables can prevent scurvy.
Later, Szent-Gyorgyi extracted a substance from vegetables, Later, this thing was also confirmed that it prevented scurvy. Later this substance was called vitamin C We can be sure that vitamin C prevents and treats scurvy, Does vitamin C help our immune system? first Vitamin C is an antioxidant When the body is infected, phagocytes will release reactive oxygen species, Or call ROS to fight pathogens But ROS may harm our own cells Therefore, vitamin C as an antioxidant may protect our body cells from damage Second, let me ask you a question, what is the largest organ of the human body? 3, 2, 1 skin The skin is part of the human immune system Vitamin C helps to synthesize skin’s collagen, so it helps our immune system Many theories and animal experiments also show that vitamin C is also involved in many processes of the human immune system For example, to promote the maturation of T-cell T-cell is a kind of white blood cell, it can destroy cells infected by bacteria Besides, there is a saying thatn during ancient time, most people who suffered from scurvy have pneumonia. Therefore, lack of vitamin C may be prone to pneumonia In other words, getting enough vitamin C may reduce respiratory infections In real life, can vitamin C boost the immune system? For example, can you fight a cold with vitamin C? Unfortunately, there is no accurate answer right now I share some experimendal result here. Here a meta analysis A meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies addressing the same question 60 00:06:00,832 –> 00:06:09,728 This meta analaysis analyzed 29 experiments on vitamin C helping cold recovery, The conclusion is that the duration of colds is reduced by 8% in people who take vitamin C But it didn’t reduce the general public’s chance of catching a cold Another meta analysis analyzed whether vitamin C can shorten the patient’s time in the intensive care unit It was found to be shortened by 8%. These results show that although vitamin C has not shown a significant effect on colds or shortening the time in the intensive care unit, But the price of vitamin C is relatively affordable (and relatively safe), Those who are interested can try it when they are sick.
Do you think this result is useless? Haha I think scientific research often comes up with such results And previous research may continue to be overturned. This is the sharing this time This is a new background (appeared in the last video), any feedback is welcome to leave a message below Please like, leave a comment and share, I’m Louisa, see you next time, bye
