Vitamin C, Nature's Bounty, 500 mg, 100 Tablets

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means your body cannot synthesize and store it. We must get it from food, including citrus fruits, broccoli and tomatoes.

You need  vitamin C for growth and tissue 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. Heavy  a form of vitamin C deficiency is scurvy.
