Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin needed for the formation of collagen to hold the cells together and for healthy teeth, gums and blood vessels; improves iron absorption and resistance to infection.

Also Vitamin C maintains the health of the skin.It is much essential for the mucous membranes to be normal and intact.

Hope I answered your query.
