Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that is absorbed from the body from our diet. It is necessary for a wide range of bodily functions, and a deficiency can lead to detrimental effect on the body.
Vitamin C is an essential co-factor and works together with other flavinoids to form a potent anti-oxidant. This allows the body to fight off free radicals and protect vitals organs from damage. The anti-oxidant property of Vitamin C prevents the accumulation of Lipoprotein A (which deposits cholesterol in damages arterial tissues and also stops clots from breaking up).
Vitamin C supplementation has shown to improve the immune system by boosting white cell formation and antibody production. Supplementation, especially during illness, has shown to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. Vitamin C also plays a vital role in collage synthesis.
