Vitamin C plays an essential role in collagen formation, which is responsible for strengthening bones and blood vessels, anchoring teeth into the gums, as well as forming the intracellular cement substances necessary for body growth, tissue repair and wound healing. Vitamin C also is required for normal growth and tissue repair.

Vitamin C is necessary for the manufacture of collagen, the protein which forms the basis of connective tissue. The most abundant tissue in the body, connective tissue acts as a cementing substance between cells. It helps support and protect blood vessels, bones, joints, organs and muscles and forms a sizeable proportion of skin, tendons, the cornea of the eye, ligaments, cartilage, teeth and bone. Collagen forms a protective barrier against infection and disease and promotes healing of wounds, fractures and bruises.

Vitamin C is the body's most powerful water soluble antioxidant and plays a vital role in protecting the body against oxidative damage. It neutralizes potentially harmful reactions in the watery parts of the body such as the blood and the fluid inside and surrounding cells. It helps protect LDL cholesterol against free radical damage. This antioxidant action helps to protect against cancer, the effects of aging, heart disease and an array of other health problems.
