Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, a vitamin your body needs daily to nurture muscles, blood vessels, cartilage, and collagen in your bones. It is an essential tool in your body’s arsenal for fighting infection.
An antioxidant, vitamin C helps fight free radicals. The creation of these unstable molecules is a normal part of the metabolic process, produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation. But these free radicals can be harmful, and they may a critical part in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Vitamin C in combination with lysine, which is an amino acid and another essential nutrient, strengthens cell walls and makes each cell robust in its defenses against potential trouble.
Vitamin C also helps your body absorb and store iron, required for healthy hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout your body.
