Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is needed for supporting the production of anti-stress hormones in the body.

Vitamin C prevents lipoproteins from oxidation, the process through which "bad" cholesterol forms inside the arteries. Also raising the HDL, high lipoprotein, which protects your arteries from forming cholesterol.

Vitamin C supports the adrenal glands, which secrete the hormones we need to function during stressful situations. The adrenals contain more vitamin C than any other part of our body.

Vitamin C kills bacteria and neutralizes bacterial toxins by boosting our natural defenses, the immune system. Vitamin C is critical to proper immune system function.
