Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with various biological functions. It acts as an antioxidant by reducing free radical damage and protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage caused by many factors such as cigarette smoke. Vitamin C may also protect against heart disease by reducing the stiffness of arteries and probability of platelets to clump together. Vitamin C is needed in order to make collagen to strengthen many parts of the body such as muscles and blood vessels. This product has been combined with citrus bioflavonoids and rose hips. Bioflavonoids are essential for vitamin C effectiveness. Rose hips are high in vitamin C as well as carotenoids.
