Why Vitamin C Still Matters

Human beings, unlike most animals, are unable to make any new Vitamin C. While it is stored in cells and tissues, particularly white blood cells, eyes, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, and brain, it needs constant replenishment, so it is an essential part of our daily diet. It is surprisingly easy to run low on Vitamin C: all you need is a source of stress, and the vitamin – as measured in your white blood cells – plummets. Naturally a good habit of eating foods high in the vitamin helps a lot.
