Other studies have found that vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that can prevent the oxidation of saturated fat to form peroxides that are harmful to the body and can impair the cardiovascular system (the originator of high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, etc.). This is useful for the manufacture of collagen network which serves to strengthen the skin, cartilage, tendons, and blood vessel walls. Collagen contained in it can help stimulate skin cell rejuvenation process, which helps prevent premature aging and overcome various skin problems.
