Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) helps to protect the body by strengthening the immune system, improving healing, and controlling bleeding. It is also a factor in major enzymatic reactions including collagen formation.

A severe lack of vitamin C results in a deficiency disease called scurvy, which can be fatal.
