Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It protects our bodies from so-called free radicals. These are partially useful, but also dangerous. They are unmissable for making certain hormones, but they also make the cells in your body age sooner. This is because free radicals oxidize, or rust if you want, our cells. A molecule of vitamin C neutralizes free radicals that come into existence during normal metabolic processes. Furthermore vitamin C increases the absorption of iron, which is import for the transport of oxygen in the body.
