Vitamin C is also called ascorbic acid. It's one of the most flexible vitamins. It prevents you from bruising quickly and helps your wounds to heal. It toughens capillaries, the blood vessels and the connective tissues that lie beneath your skin, and steadies your bones. It is also a powerful antioxidant, meaning it clears your body from harmful oxygen molecules and free radicals that can do cell damages, which leads to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, cataracts and other health complications. Vitamin C also makes your immune system strong.
