Product Synopsis
Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants that protect against oxidation caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. The build up of these by-products over time may affect skin health and health. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. It is therefore important to include adequate vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet.
