Vitamin C is the most well-known and researched water-soluble antioxidant in use today. Antioxidant nutrients provide an essential boost needed for a healthy immune system. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, can support immunity in numerous ways; it stimulates the production of white blood cells; protects immune cells from free radical damage; can shorten the life of a cold. Vitamin C’s antioxidant function helps support tissues by significantly decreasing the adverse effects of free radicals. Free radicals are compounds that are highly reactive and, when in excess, can damage cells and tissues & compromise immune function. Free radicals are created during times of physical and mental stress and also during normal metabolism. The greater the stress, the more vitamin C the body uses. Vitamin C is also necessary for the production and repair of collagen and connective tissue and is therefore essential for skin, bone, muscle and joint health, to name a few. Although there are many different forms of vitamin C, ascorbic acid is the form that has undergone the most scientific scrutiny and research.
