Best Answer

A placebo is something used to make a person think they are taking a medicine when in fact they are not. They are often called sugar pills because sometimes they are made of sugar, but the composition of placebos is not standardized so they can be made of anything that's intended to be neutral -- that is, anything that will have no medicinal effect.

Vitamin C is a real medicine -- a vitamin.
