Vitamin C, also referred to as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble substance that is easily excreted from the body. For this reason, vitamin C must be provided via natural sources, such as fresh vegetables and fruits. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps fight against free radical damage and assists in the creation of collagen and the formation of red blood cells and bone.

Vitamin C is beneficial during times of stress and for overall health. Additionally, the Journal of the American College for Nutrition states, "Evidence overwhelmingly points to the value of vitamin C in maintaining health and preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease and cataracts."

Vitamin C may also be useful in the treatment of colds, flus and asthma. Vitamin C deficiencies may cause symptoms related to weakened immunity, scurvy, anemia, poor digestion, nosebleeds, and joint swelling or pain.
