Protect the beauty of your skin with the power antioxidant vitamin C.
Vitamin C, the power antioxidant
Vitamin C has strong antioxidant properties that help to ward off damage caused by free radicals.
These are caused by environmental influences such as toxins, smoking or excessive sun exposure.
Vitamin C also regenerates other antioxidants such as vitamin E, which further strengthens skin protection.
As vitamin C is used up in the process, a deficiency can quickly develop.
After a sunburn, it supports wound healing and prevents premature skin ageing and skin cancer.
In addition to a vitamin-rich diet, Ogaenics also offers Healthy Kick a bioavailable, plant-based vitamin C from the amla berry.

Vitamin C, the beauty booster for your skin
Firm, youthful-looking skin relies on collagen, and vitamin C is crucial for its synthesis.
Collagen forms the scaffolding of your skin and is responsible for its elasticity and firmness.
Joints, blood vessels, bones and eyes also benefit from collagen – and therefore from vitamin C. It activates the enzymes that trigger collagen formation, which is why a vitamin-rich diet with fruit and vegetables is essential.
However, we don’t always reach the recommended 650 g of fruit and vegetables a day, which makes supplementation a good idea.
According to studies, many people do not reach the recommended intake of vitamin C – this is where high-quality supplements such as Cellular Life and Healthy Kick from Ogaenics can help.
How much vitamin C do I need every day?
The recommended daily amount is 80 mg.
However, the requirement can increase significantly with stress, nicotine or alcohol consumption, pregnancy or intensive sporting activity.
As vitamin C is water-soluble, there is no risk of overdosing – the body only takes what it needs.

Our favorite source of vitamin C
Although citrus fruits are well-known sources of vitamin C, there are better sources.
The amla fruit contains almost 14 times more vitamin C than a lemon.
In Ogaenics products, we rely on bioavailable vitamin C from amla extracts.
The patented extraction process preserves valuable co-factors such as polyphenols and bioflavonoids, which optimize the absorption of vitamin C. In Ayurvedic medicine, the amla fruit is also used for disturbed immune system. It is also said to help with diseases based on hyperacidity, while systematically improving the transformation of food into energy. In combination with other valuable ingredients as in Cellular Life from Ogaenics, which is rich in plant antioxidants, you support your skin’s appearance and comprehensively protect your cells from oxidative stress.
The product works synergistically and strengthens your body’s antioxidant system.
Conclusion
With a balanced diet with a focus on vitamin C, you can keep your skin youthful and slow down the signs of ageing.
