Vitamin C uses?

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects the watery areas of the body from free radicals, which are compounds associated with many degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and premature aging.

Vitamin C is essential for making collagen, protein found in connective tissue, skin, bone, teeth, and other parts of the body; collagen holds tissues together.

Vitamin C helps maintain vitamin E levels in the body.

Wound healing and the repair of bone fractures, bruises, and bleeding gums require vitamin C.

Vitamin C enhances the body's resistance to infection and disease.

Iron absorption is improved with vitamin C.

Symptoms of deficiency include small bruises, inflamed gums, joint pain, dry skin, poor wound healing, general weakness and fatigue, muscle cramps, depression, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, anemia, and increased colds and infections. Scurvy is the classic deficiency disease.
