Vitamin C
A vital vital substance
Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins and can protect cells from free radicals thanks to its strong antioxidant properties (alongside vitamin E). The body also needs vitamin C for numerous metabolic processes - for example, to rebuild connective tissue and to produce certain messenger substances and hormones.
While plants and most animals produce vitamin C in the body's own synthesis, humans, chimpanzees, guinea pigs, some birds and fish lack the messenger substance required for the formation of vitamin C.
We must therefore obtain vitamin C through our diet or a dietary supplement. One of the most important sources of vitamin C is fresh fruit such as berries and citrus fruits. Some vegetables such as cabbage, peppers and potatoes also contain vitamin C.
