  • Vitamin C modulates white blood cell (WBC) functions for healthy immune system. WBCs use ascorbic acid in the synthesis of cytotoxic enzymes which they use in fighting off bacteria, viruses, and toxins. Vitamin C deficiency has been linked to increased risk of developing colds and other common infections.

Degenerative (age-related) diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, macular degeneration, cataracts, and osteoarthritis are induced by free radicals.
