Vitamin C ( ascorbic acid) helps tissue and bone grow and repair themselves. While vitamin C supplements are extremely popular, research has yet to establish solid health benefits.
Why do people take vitamin C?
Studies have shown that vitamin C may reduce the odds of getting a cold, but only in specific groups in extreme circumstances, such as soldiers in subarctic environments, skiers, and marathon runners. Studies have not found solid evidence that vitamin C helps prevent or treat colds in average people.
Vitamin C's antioxidant benefits are also unclear. While some studies of vitamin Csupplements have been promising, they have not found solid evidence that vitamin Csupplements help with cancer, stroke, asthma, and many other diseases. Evidence does suggest that they do not help with cataracts or high cholesterol.
