- Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in our health. It helps to build and maintain our tissues and fortify our immune systems. Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means it is excreted from the body everyday and cannot be stored for later use. Therefore, we should aim to get some vitamin C in our daily diet. A study showed that taking vitamin C can reduce death rates by as much as 42 percent for men and 10 percent for women who have taken it in high doses (citation needed).
