ANTIOXIDANT - Boosts energy, collagen synthesis and fights skin aging

There is no risk of overdose with vitamin C when used correctly and as directed by Laboratoire Harmony. Excess vitamin C is eliminated through stool and urine due to its water-soluble nature.

The Harmony team recommends taking one to two capsules per day, with a large glass of water. You can take this capsule at any time of day if you're used to taking vitamin C supplements.

However, if you are starting a vitamin C course, it is best to avoid taking it in the evening at first. Your body needs to get used to the increased energy that comes with vitamin C (especially if you are deficient to begin with).

Vitamin C is considered essential, as our bodies are unable to produce it on their own. Therefore, it is crucial to provide our bodies with a daily dose of vitamin C through diet or supplementation.

Long-term vitamin C use is considered safe for most people when taken at physiological doses. The maximum daily dose in France for adults is 1000 mg, for adolescents (10 years and older), 500 mg, and for children (10 years and younger), 200 mg (DGCCRF, 2019). However, it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage, as excessive doses can cause side effects such as stomach upset or kidney problems.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant, named for its ubiquitous nature. It is able to neutralize free radicals, which helps protect cell membranes and DNA from oxidation. It is also central to the production of energy (ATP) by mitochondria. As we age, our natural production decreases and our bodies become less effective at protecting themselves from the damage of oxidative stress.

It acts in synergy with vitamin C on energy, collagen synthesis but also to fight against skin aging.

First of all, the liposomal vitamin C offered by Harmony has a significantly higher intestinal tolerance than other forms of vitamin C. Encapsulating vitamin C in liposomes raises the intestinal tolerance threshold (at least 20 times higher than the classic form). It also has greater bioavailability.

This is a form particularly suitable for people sensitive to vitamin C and with significant needs.
