Vitamin C Benefits For Muscle Strength, Endurance and Fat Loss!

Vitamin C (Absorbic Acid) is very crucial in many aspects of your health. In addition to the health benefits provided by vitamin C, it also has exercise and fitness benefits as well.

Vitamin C has been shown to increase muscle size, endurance and reduce fatigue through its antioxident properties.

Vitamin C destroys free radicals triggered from training and other stresses, which break down your NO (nitric oxide) levels.Numerous studies have shown that higher NO levels increase muscle strength, boost muscle endurance and delay the onset of muscle fatigue.

There is also research that suggests vitamin C can also aid in fat loss.

Most multivitamins do not contain enough vitamin C, so it is suggested to supplement with vitamin C in addition to a multivitamin.

Dosage:  Take 1,000mg two to three times per day spread out evenly (remember to take into account the amount of vitamin C your multivitamin contains).
