Vitamin C
Vitamin C is vital to your body's healing process. It is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells against the effects of free radicals — molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation from the sun, X-rays, or other sources.
Why We Use It

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for normal growth and development. It is involved in many bodily functions, including:

Tissue growth and repair
Vitamin C is vital for the production of collagen, a protein necessary for healthy skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. It aids in wound healing and maintains the integrity of bones and teeth.
