Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin obtained mainly from citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables that is needed by the body for hundreds of vital metabolic reactions. It is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body, and in forming collagen--an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also essential for the healing process (whether that be from infection, disease, injury, or surgery), and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, teeth, and gums. Due to it's antioxidant properties, vitamin C may also prevent many diseases including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gingivitis, Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers.
