It has been proven to play an important role in almost every aspect of our health and it is therefore not surprising that it has been a subject of great interest and research for decades.

The benefits of Vitamin C are not confined to the prevention of scurvy, a debilitating disease caused by its deficiency. Scientific studies have also discovered that it is potentially important in the prevention of major chronic diseases and some allergic disorders. It has also been known to prevent and relieve viral infections including the common cold and influenza or flu. It is also vital for maintaining a healthy immune system.
