It helps to reduce damage to body tissues by free radicals, including those generated by cigarette smoke and those produced by immune activity.

Vitamin C is essential for the formation of connective tissue in the skin, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, spinal discs and the walls of blood vessels.
