Vitamin C is one of the most well-known nutrients for good reason. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system by helping maintain the normal function of white blood cells. As an antioxidant, it also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, vitamin C is vital for normal collagen formation, supporting healthy skin, bones, teeth, and gums. It also enhances the absorption of iron from plant foods. While individual responses vary, ensuring adequate vitamin C intake is important for general wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that the body cannot produce itself.
