The study demonstrated a direct relationship between a diet low in vitamin C and increased DNA damage in sperm cells. DNA is the basic molecule that functions to transmit hereditary traits. Any damage to this genetic structure may predispose a man to having children with genetic anomalies. One of the researchers, Dr. Paul Motchnik of the University of California at Berkeley said the implication of this finding is that increased vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, could prevent the consequences of oxidation ...

All comparisons of baseline data and diabetic characteristics in relation to the 50% percentile of vitC (26.6 (22.0–37.2) μmol/L) were non-significant ( Table 1 ). The range (0%–100%) of plasma vitC in the cohort was 3.1–61.0 μmol/L.

And once brain damage has occurred, it cannot be reversed by vitamin C supplements after birth. This is shown through new research at the University of Copenhagen just published in the scientific journal  PLOS ONE. Population studies show that between 10-20 per cent of all adults in the developed world suffer from vitamin C deficiency. Therefore, pregnant women should think twice about omitting the daily vitamin pill. "Even marginal vitamin C deficiency in the mother stunts the fetal hippocampus, the important memory centre, by 10-15 per cent, preventing the brain from optimal development," says Professor Jens Lykkesfeldt. He heads the group of scientists that reached thi...

These include blood clotting, blood vessel and muscle contraction, enzyme and hormone secretion and the central nervous system functioning. Calcium happens to be the body’s most common mineral. On average, calcium makes up about 2.3% of a person’s body weight. Nearly all calcium in the body is stored in bones. Its role is to help bones to remain strong and stiff enough to carry the weight of the body. When needed, the body can draw upon these calcium reserves in the bones and use it elsewhere, such as in the bloodstream and soft tissues. Calcium is a mineral and so it cannot be produced by the body. Therefore, consuming ...

Calcium is considered to be one of the most important minerals in human body. It is found in some foods and added to others due to its important role in our body.   Calcium is required for maintaining bone mass, is essential for exocytosis of neurotransmitters, takes part in the contraction of muscle cells, replaces sodium as the depolarizing mineral in the heart, and participates in many other physiologic functions. Studies have shown that a lack of adequate dietary calcium can induce many bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women, as well as other calcium-related deficiencies, such as hypocalcaemia and poor blood clotting. However, less than 1% of total body calcium is required to support these essential metabolic functions. The s...
