What is the use of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C helps to heal wounds, prevent cell damage, promote healthy gums and teeth, and strengthen the immune system. Scurvy has been known since ancient times. People in many parts of the world assumed it was caused by a lack of fresh plant foods. C may be associated with delayed aging and disease prevention by destroying 'free radicals'-the molecules associated with aging and cell damage. There are two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins, which include the B-complex group and vitamin C, travel through the bloodstream. Whatever water-soluble vitamins are not used by the body are eliminated in urine, which means you need a continuous supply of them in your food. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin.

Women and men should consume at least 60 milligrams of vitamin C each day.

Scurvy is an avitaminosis resulting from lack of vitamin C, since without this vitamin, the synthesized collagen is too unstable to perform its function. Scurvy leads to the formation of liver spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth and, eventually, death.
