Ivithamini C ingenye yezithako ezithandwa kakhulu nezisebenzayo uma kuziwa ezithakweni zokunakekelwa kwesikhumba. Akugcini nje ngokusiza ukukhanyisa ngisho nokukhipha ithoni yesikhumba, kodwa futhi inezici ze-antioxidant ezivikela isikhumba kuma-radicals mahhala nokuguga ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Kodwa-ke, akuwona wonke uvithamini C owenziwe ngokulingana, okuyilapho i-ethyl ascorbic acid ingena khona.

I-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid , eyaziwa nangokuthi i-EAA, iwuhlobo oluzinzile futhi olunamandla lwevithamini C olunikeza zonke izinzuzo ze-vitamin C yendabuko ngaphandle kokushiyeka. Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo ze-vitamin C, i-EAA izinzile kakhulu, okusho ukuthi ngeke i-oxidize noma yonakalise ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Lokhu kuyenza ibe isithako esifanelekile semikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba njengoba inikeza imiphumela engaguquki nethembekile.

Enye yezinzuzo ezibaluleke kakhulu ze-EAA yikhono layo lokugqugquzela ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen esikhumbeni.I-collagen iyiphrotheni ebalulekile eyenza isikhumba sibe nokunwebeka nokuqina, kodwa ngokwemvelo siyehla ngokukhula. Ngokusebenzisa imikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba equkethe ama-EAA, ungasiza ukukhulisa amazinga e-collagen futhi ugcine ukubukeka kobusha, nokukhuluphele. I-EAA yaziwa nangezakhiwo zayo ezikhanyayo, isiza ngokukhipha ithoni yesikhumba futhi ikhanyise amabala amnyama.

Uma kuziwa ekufakeni ama-EAA ohlelweni lwakho lokunakekelwa kwesikhumba, ziningi izinketho. Ungathola ama-EAA kumaserum, okokuthambisa, ngisho nakumaski obuso. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi akuyona yonke imikhiqizo ye-EAA edalwe ilingana. Bheka imikhiqizo equkethe ukugcwala okuphezulu kwe-EAA, njengoba lokhu kuzoqinisekisa ukuthi uthola inzuzo enkulu.

Sekukonke, uma ufuna isithako esinamandla nesisebenzayo sokunakekela isikhumba, i-ethyl ascorbic acid iyisinqumo esihle kakhulu.
