Vitamin C

• Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant (free radical fighter)
• Enhances  prevention of  hardening of the arteries ie artheriosclerosis
• Helps in inflammatory diseases ie fibromyalgia, arthritis
• Assists in preventing infections i.e. some of the viral or bacterial infections
• May help to stimulate and maintain brain function i.e.in dementia, Parkinson's disease

Vitamin C   was discovered more then 65 years ago and has become known as a "wonder worker".  Over these 65 years it has been determined to be able to help in correcting many illnesses.  In addition to its role in collagen formation and other life-sustaining functions it also serves as a key immune system nutrient and a potent free-radical fighter.  Vitamin C has been shown to prevent everyday ailments such as the common cold or to enhance  the body recover more quickly from medical treatments. 

Vitamin C  has many benefits for the human body but as such, this water-soluble vitamin, also known as Ascorbic Acid,  cannot be produced by the human body.  Vitamin C helps some of or most important body systems.  First and foremost it helps the immune system to fight off foreign invaders and tumor cells.  Vitamin C also supports the cardiovascular system by facilitating fat metabolism and protecting tissues from free radical damage. Vitamin C assists the nervous system by converting certain amino acids into neurotransmitters.  It helps in maintaining the "healthness" of our skin, teeth and bones.  It even serves as a natural aspirin, of sorts, by combating inflammation in helping diseases like fibromyalgia and arthritis.

As a antioxidant function, vitamin C is in a unique position to "scavenge" aqueous peroxyde radicals before these destructive substances have a chance to damage the lipids.  It works well along with vitamin E, a fat soluble antioxidant and the enzyme glutathione peroxidase to stop free radical chain reactions.  Vitamin C also contributes to a variety of other biochemical functions.  These include the biosynthesis of the amino acid carnitine and the catecholamines that regulates the nervous system.

As a contributor to cardiovascular health, vitamin C may play a number of roles in maintaining cardiovascular fitness.  The fatty plaques that form in the blood vessels, called atherosclerosis are a major contributor to heart disease. Vitamin C may prevent the plaque formation by inhibiting the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDLs).  Beyond that, vitamin C may play a mitigation role in another aspect of atherosclerosis - the buildup and adhesion of platelets on vessel walls that contribute to strokes and heart disease.
