Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is necessary for the production of collagen. It is needed for connective tissue health in skin, bone, teeth, tendons, ligaments, fascia, organ capsules, liver, spleen, kidneys and cartilage. It is also important in protecting fat-soluble vitamins A and E, and fatty acids from oxidation; it stimulates the immune system, and is beneficial in iron deficient anaemia.
