History and Usage: Vitamin C(ascorbic acid) is an important vitamin for general health. Because it is water-soluble, the body cannot store the vitamin so you must be certain to get enough daily, either through your diet or through supplements like Chewable C. Vitamin C is a critical component of both basic body building functions and disease prevention.

It is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds and the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones and teeth. During any kind of healing process, whether it is from infection, injury, disease or surgery, the body uses large amounts of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant which can help block damage from free radicals. Vitamin C Performs Many Functions in the BodyResearch is ongoing into the therapeutic uses of Vitamin C. Studies show promise for the use of Vitamin C in protecting against a number of conditions. These conditions include heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, common cold, osteoarthritis, obesity and weight loss, cataract, age related macular degeneration, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Evidence from human studies indicates Vitamin C will not cure these conditions but may help prevent their initial onset or slow progression.
