Vitamin C Injection

Vitamin C is an essential dietary nutrient required for the biosynthesis of collagen and a co-factor in the biosynthesis of catecholamine, L-carnitine, cholesterol, amino acids and some peptide hormones. A lack of vitamin C causes scurvy, a pathological condition that leads to blood vessel fragility and connective tissue damage due to a failure in producing collagen, which leads to death as a result of collapse. Vitamin C is also important in cancer and cardiovascular prevention and has the potential to counteract inflammation and subsequent oxidative damage that play a major role in the initiation and progression of several other chronic and acute diseases.
