Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth. It also helps the body absorb iron from nonheme sources.
If you don’t get enough vitamin C, a severe deficiency can eventually lead to scurvy, a disease that causes loose teeth, excessive bleeding and swollen gums.
