Vitamin C



Mighty Vitamin C!

Beneficial Effects of Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps maintain the body's natural antioxidant defense against damage to water soluble segments of cells caused by exposure to smog, smoke, and poor diet. By helping to maintain cell integrity, vitamin C also helps support immune function. A vitamin C deficiency put you in danger of infection and premature aging. It also blocks conversion of nitrates, found in many foods including processed meat, into a harmful form. In addition to being such a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C also helps maintain the health of the eyes, as well as the structure of bones, muscles and blood vessels. It is critical to the development of collagen, and necessary for strong teeth and gums.*
