Vitamin C

1. Preventing scurvy

Vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen, prevent gum bleeding, prevent gum recession and tooth loosening. Therefore, following the doctor's advice to consume vitamin C in moderation can effectively prevent scurvy.

2. Antioxidant

Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and can eliminate excess free radicals in the body, thereby delaying aging. In addition, vitamin C can also inhibit the synthesis of lipids in the body, maintain the integrity of blood vessels, prevent coronary atherosclerosis, and help prevent cardiovascular diseases.

3. Improve the body's absorption of iron

Vitamin C can reduce trivalent iron in food to divalent iron, making it easier for the body to absorb. Proper supplementation of vitamin C can help prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia.

In addition, vitamin C also has the effect of enhancing immunity. Therefore, consuming foods rich in vitamin C in daily life, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, can help maintain good health. If patients need to take vitamin C medication, they should do so under the guidance of a doctor to avoid discomfort caused by excessive use.
