Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is a water soluble nutrient and is the least stable of the vitamins. It can lose its potency to light, heat and exposure to air and must be consumed daily in the diet as the body does not process or store Vitamin C.
One of the primary functions of Vitamin C is to maintain collagen, a protein substance, which forms connective tissue in skin and bones. It is this nutrient that promotes wound and burn healing by helping form connective tissue in the scarred areas.
Vitamin C is also effective in the treatment of the common cold since it fights bacterial infections and some allergy-producing compounds.
Vitamin C has also been found to be of value in minimizing the effects of environmental pollution, including carbon monoxide and lead by providing more oxygen to the cells through its anti-oxidant qualities.
Vitamin C works in harmony with components such as Bioflavonoids, Rutin, Hesperidin and Rosehips, which help in the absorption of Vitamin C.
Bioflavonoids, for example, are helpful in strengthening the capillaries, while Rutin is helpful in prevention of recurrent bleeding arising from weakened blood vessels.
