What Experts Say

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports the immune system, helps build collagen for skin and blood vessels, and improves how well the body absorbs iron from food. The body cannot make or store it in large amounts, so a regular supply is useful.

Many people take it during colds and periods of recovery, when demand is higher or intake is low. While it does not prevent colds, adequate vitamin C supports normal immune function.

It is generally very safe because excess is removed in the urine, though very high doses can upset the stomach or, rarely, contribute to kidney stones. Sticking to the recommended dose is best for most people.
