You need to keep your immune system strong in order to feel your best. A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C helps maintain a healthy immune system and protects against damaging free radicals. Additionally, Vitamin C is necessary for the body to manufacture collagen, which is essential for healthy skin. Nature Made 500 mg Vitamin C caplets are a great way to ensure you get your daily dose of this important nutrient. FROM THE MANUFACTURER Nature Made's Vitamin C is recommended as part of a daily regimen for women's and men's health, longevity, heart strength, prenatal care, winter wellness, and immunity. Vitamin C?s major role is to make collagen, a protein substance that holds connective tissues together in the skin, bone, teeth, and other areas. Vitamin C is also critical for the proper function of our immune system, for manufacturing certain nerve-transmitting substances and hormones, and for the absorption and utilization of other nutrients, such as vitamin E and iron. Vitamin C is also a very important and powerful antioxidant that works in the aqueous (water) environments of the body, such as the lungs and lens of the eye. Though its primary antioxidant partners are vitamin E and the carotenes (beta-carotene), it also works with the antioxidant enzymes. Vitamin C regenerates oxidized vitamin E, and restores the antioxidant potential of vitamin E in the body. * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
