Antioxidant. Participates in the synthesis of intracellular collagen. Suppresses the activity of hyaluronidase, participates in the exchange of iron and glucose.
Reduces the body's need for vitamins A, E, B1 and B2, pantothenic and folic acid.
The human body is not synthesized.
Regulates the transport of hydrogen ions in oxidation-reduction reactions, including in the process at any stage of the Krebs cycle. Participates in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. Provides absorption of iron in the intestine, transferring it from trivalent into a divalent form, facilitating its incorporation into heme. Participates in the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, the synthesis of steroid hormones, norepinephrine and adrenaline, collagen, prothrombin, glycogen. Inactivates hyaluronidase, activating the regeneration of tissues and normalizing the permeability of capillaries. Disinfects toxins and has an antioxidant effect, catching free radicals. He takes an active part in the regulation of immune processes: enhances the formation of antibodies, phagocytic activity and the synthesis of interferon. It inhibits the release of histamine and strengthens its degeneration, suppresses the release of mediators of inflammation and allergic reactions.
