Vitamin C

Since I was talking about Vitamin C yesterday, I thought I would add a few thoughts about Vitamin C. First, let's talk about some of the benefits of Vitamin C.

As I mentioned yesterday, surgeons often order vitamin C after a surgery to help with healing. One of its benefits. Many people take vitamin C to help their immune system be stronger to fight off colds, viruses and infections.

One of the things you may not know about Vitamin C is that it helps in the absorption of iron. In addition it helps maintain the connective tissue. Connective tissue is essential to help protect the body and to help heal the body through the immune system. Cartilage and bone are specialized forms of connective tissue, so you can see that vitamin C is essential here.
