Vitamin C is required for the activity of leucocytes, immunoglobulins and natural antibodies. Vitamin C protects vitamins A and E against damage. Vitamin C helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties. Vitamin C is involved in the formation of corticosteroid hormones in the adrenal gland.
