Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble micronutrient that acts as antioxidant agent in the body, helping to protect cells against damages caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed as the food you eat is turned into energy they are also generated by ambient pollutants like cigarette smoke, air contamination and ultraviolet radiation. Exposure to all these factors weakens your immune system, making you more susceptible to viruses or bacteria.
Furthermore, the body needs vitamin C to produce collagen, a protein involved in wound healing. Vitamin C also enhances the absorption of iron found in plant foods and contributes to the adequate functioning of the immune system, protecting the body against disease.
