Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant preventing the premature oxidation (aging) of cells. It has been proven to support a strong immune system and cardiovascular health. Further research shows that vitamin C is involved in maintaining proper levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a mood-balancing chemical in the brain that is associated with a sense of well-being and happiness.
