Vitamin C has long been touted for its abilities to ward off sickness and as a cure for the common cold. It has many other benefits as well, including the ability to curb gum disease and heart diseases.
Vitamin C acts as an anti-inflammatory and ultimately builds connective tissue with collagen. Sailors knew of the benefits of Vitamin C and would rub limes on their gums to prevent bleeding while on long voyages.
While the best way to get Vitamin C into your system is by eating an assortment of fruits and vegetables, sometimes that just isn’t possible. Alternative ways to reach or exceed the recommended daily value of Vitamin C are to purchase powders, pills and even chewing gum to help you get your Vitamin C fix.
You will be helping to prevent gum disease, heart disease and boosting your immune system all at the same time. What a wonderful multi-tasking vitamin.
