Vitamin C Alive!, Vitamin C, Nature's Way, 120 Capsules

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that the human body cannot  synthesize and store it. A person should receive it & nbsp; from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli and tomatoes.

You need  vitamin C for tissue growth and repair in all parts of the body.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, along with vitamin E, beta-carotene and many other plant nutrients.  Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals, substances that damage DNA.

Severe vitamin  C deficiency is now rare, although evidence suggests that many people may have low levels. Cigarette smoking reduces the amount of vitamin C in the body, thus  smokers are at risk for  deficiency.

Signs of vitamin C deficiency include dryness and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, flaky skin; long healing of wounds and bruising of the skin; nosebleeds; and decreased ability to resist infection. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is scurvy. For more detailed advice, you can contact the manager at the Biotus website.
