Vitamin C

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Humans don't have the ability to make their own vitamin C, so we have to get it from what we eat. Vitamin C is very important for the adrenal glands because they are among the organs with the highest concentration of vitamin C in the body. It's also required in the production of collagen,  gums, teeth, tendons, blood vessels, bone and ligaments.

Vitamin C is extremely necessary for producing energy in the body's cells. Vitamin C, even in small quantities protects the body's lipids (fats), proteins and carbohydrates from damage by free radicals and oxidative damage, as it gives the body a way to dispose of toxins produced during normal metabolic processes, as well as from chemicals we ingest, and from pollution. The daily recommended dose can range from 1,000-2,000 milligrams.
