Vitamin C is a water dissoluble substance well known for its vital role in the immune system. Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is important for skin, bone and joint health. Vitamin C is necessary for amino acid metabolism, synthesis of hormones and the use of many nutrients such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect cells and molecules in the body from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules generated during normal metabolism and exposure to stress factors.
