Vitamin C plays a necessary role for your general health. It is water soluble so the body cannot store it. You need it on a daily basis through either through diet or supplementation.
It helps in the repair and growth of various tissues throughout the body. It helps to heal wounds and maintain and repair cartilage, as well as teeth and bones. During every healing process, the body uses massive amounts of Vitamin C. It blocks damage from free radicals and can protect against high cholesterol, the common cold, obesity and weight loss, osteoarthritis, heart disease, age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.
