When considering the health of your love one, it is important to look at the medications, supplements, nutrients, and minerals; they intake on a regular basis. Vitamin C, a supplement you can take daily is known to take your health care to the next level. Before you add a new supplement to your diet it is important to look at the history as well as what vitamin does for your body.
The human body is put together in a very delicate and yet interesting way. It requires a variety of different vitamins, nutrients, and minerals to function properly and to help fight infections, diseases, and inflammation.
Through extensive research, Noble Prize winner Linus Pauling discovered that Vitamin C helped prevent colds and potentially other diseases like cancer. This caused a major controversy in the 1990’s due to disbelief, however as medical doctors claimed that Vitamin C really wasn’t as beneficial for the body as Linus Pauling had claimed. So this leaves the question that is right, is Vitamin C good for the body? Or was Pauling a Quack?
So what can Vitiman C do for you and your body?
Vitamin C :
Reduce the risk of colds in half. According to reports from last year examining five trials that had people who were under heavy short-term physical stress, the people who were taking Vitamin C had cut the number of common colds in half, showing that Vitamin C helps to build the immune system.
