Prevent developing chronic diseases by taking an essential supplement. Vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant which can protect indispensable molecules in the body. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA are prone to damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These threats can be generated via normal metabolism and through exposure to toxins and pollutants like cigarette smoke.
Vitamin C is also required for the synthesis of collagen, an important component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. This vitamin further plays an important role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters which are critical to brain function and which are known to affect mood.
