Advantages:

* Vitamin C, predominantely boosts the immune system, to prevent your body being susceptible to colds or minor diseases, infections and disorders.

* Vitamin C plays an essential part in the incorporation of proline into collagen and is also involved in the formation of elastin. With a deficiency of vitamin C impaired collagen is created and the skin can become more wrinkled. The replacement of vitamin C boosts the manufacture collagen and so wrinkles can become less noticeable after using vitamin C. You should notice an improvement after taking the RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) in about 2 weeks.

* Promotes the healing of cuts, abrasions and wounds.

* Appears to dilate (widen, enlarge) blood vessels and thereby lessen the risk of developing high blood pressure and heart disease.

* Helps regulate cholesterol levels.

Answer 3

I wouldn't take vitamin C just to see an improvment in your skin, there are better supplements to take for skin.
But as a general supplement to keep colds at bay and improve the immune system then Vitamin C is good but I doubt you would actually see a visable improvement on any level.
Hope this helps?!

Yes.vitamin c is a great all round healer.It boosts your immune system and helps fight off colds and viruses, and is good for the skin.Id say give it a couple of weeks before you will notice any real difference.

Answer 5

Vitamin C is an antioxidant. However what are you taking it for? If you drink orange juice and or eat citrus fruits you more than likely are not lacking vitiman C.
