Vitamin c

Humans must get Vitamin C through their diet, because they cannot actually synthesize it, unlike most mammals.

One of the most important functions of Vitamin C is its antioxidant capabilities. Vit C helps the immune system improve its function. Vitamin C is essential to the production of collagen in the body. Collagen literally holds the body together, and is most concentrated in the skin, tendons and blood vessel walls. It is thus important for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is needed for healing wounds and for repairing and maintaining bones, teeth and musculoskeletal tissues.

Vitamin C is one of the important dietary anti-oxidants that protects against free radical damage. (Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells. They are molecules that lack an electron and are seeking an electron to quench their thirst for electrons and they do that by robbing an electron from another molecule which then robs another molecule and so on, thus causing a cascade of molecular damage which is thought to be an important factor in the generation of all chronic diseases including ageing.) Vitamin C can thus help reduce inflammation in the body because free radicals are involved in all inflammatory conditions.

Vitamin C can assist people who suffer from immune disorders.
