    IMPORTANCE: Essential for healthy teeth, gums & Bones; helps heal wounds, scar tissue, & Fractures; prevents scurvy; builds resistance to infection; aids in the prevention & treatment of the common cold; gives strength to blood vessels; aids in the absorption of iron. It is required for the synthesis of collagen, the intercellular “cement” which holds tissues together. It is also one of the major antioxidant nutrients. It prevents the conversion of nitrates (from tobacco smoke, smog, bacon, lunch meats, & some vegetables) into cancer-causing substances.

    A 2007 study of 416 women with a total of 427 wrist fractures conducted at three hospitals in the Netherlands discovered that high doses of Vitamin C help prevent complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in broken wrists. Inflamation (and possibly immobility) of a broken wrist can lead to CRPS, an irreparable muscle damage. Women who took 500 mg of VitaminC or 1500 mg of Vitamin C per day had only a 2.4 percent occurence of CRPS, while women taking no Vitamin C or taking only 200 mg of Vitamin C per day, had a 10.1 percent occurence of CRPS. The study by PE. Zollinger, W.E. Tuinebreijer, R.W. Kreis, and R.S. Breederveld appeared in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, July 2007, Vol. 89, N. 7, pages 1424-1431.

    Seniors should have at least 250 mg of Vitamin C a day for antioxidant protection, strong immune system, and healthy heart.
