VITAMIN C: Vitamin C is vital for tissue growth and repair, the formation of teeth and bones, wound healing, and resistance to infections.  Vitamin C plays a part in almost all aspects of our health and well-being.  This powerful vitamin also contributes to the production of stress hormones and the neurotransmitter serotonin which enhances your mood.  Vitamin C may help prevent arteriosclerosis by combating abnormal blood clotting, high blood pressure and plaque buildup leading to hardening of the arteries.  Because Vitamin C is an antioxidant which battles damage-causing free radicals, it may also help to prevent cancer.  Recently, scientific evidence has indicated that the vitamin works along with vitamin E in this role.  The synergism of the two vitamins produces a greater effect than either vitamin can separately.
