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 to helping 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 and it 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 peroxyle 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.
