The other primary benefits of Vitamin C are:

• Vitamin C is a critical cofactor for the production and stability of collagen. The stability and strength of your teeth, nails, hair, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and all other organs built from the connective tissue depends on this cofactor. 

• Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the manufacturing of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and epinephrine and essential for the healthy functioning of the nervous system. 

• The transport of fatty acids into the cell's mitochondria, where they are used to make energy (ATP), requires L-carnitine, which cannot be manufactured without vitamin C.

• Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant helping to neutralize peroxyl and hydroxyl free radicals and regenerating the antioxidants vitamin E and glutathione back to their reduced forms (form in which they serve as antioxidants).

• Vitamin C helps limit the production of nitrosamines from nitrites found in foods such as hot dogs, bacon, and cold cuts. Nitrosamines are potentially harmful to the body.

• Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system. The body secretes histamine in response to allergens and infections. Vitamin C has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of histamine. In addition, vitamin C supports healthy interferon and white blood cell activity levels, both critical to healthy immune function.
