The human body and vitamin c
Despite the body's own unable to produce vitamin C, hundreds of biological systems rely on it. Vitamin C is considered an essential antioxidant because it protects the structure and integrity of cells when exposed to free radicals, among other things. Vitamin C is also described as the vitamin that holds the body together because of its important role in collagen production.
