Best Answer

Vitamin C is very important for body functioning. It supports a healthy immune system and acts as an antioxidant. It is very important for collagen synthesis, a part of connective tissue. It helps increase iron absorption and is involved with synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters. Sources of this vitamin include citrus fruits. Defieciency of this vitamin results in scurvy that is characterised by swollen and bleeding gums.
