(c) Vitamin C & Immunity

Being a natural anti-oxidant, vitamin C basically reduces the oxidative reactions in the body. These oxidative reactions are considered as harmful due to the free radicals produced which do oxidative damage to body tissues.

Research show that dietary vitamin C increases the levels of immunoglobulin and its complementary component. Since immunoglobulin is a crucial component in immune response and increase in these protective cells, vitamin C would indirectly boost the immune system (Dorling Kindersley Pty Limited, 2000).

To sum up, the powerful anti-oxidant vitamin C inhibits oxidative activities of pathogens while simultaneously strengthening immune response.
