Usage

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is a vital nutrient for good health. It helps form and maintain cartilage, blood vessels, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C protects against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease and even promotes skin health. Vitamin C occurs naturally in some foods, especially fruits and vegetables. It is very important within the human body as it is used for a variety of processes, which help the body to maintain its basic functions. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb iron into the bloodstream which is needed for the reproduction of red blood cells, and it is also important that there is vitamin C available for the bones and the blood vessels to use on a daily basis. Vitamin C supplements are effective in both treating vitamin C deficiency and preventing it.
