Hey Navyatha – I think the best way to get your vitamin C is naturally via fruits and vegetables. Doing this will ensure that you also get the appropriate bioflavonoids too.

Vitamin C is important for many functions in the body. As a potent anti-oxidant, it detoxifies the body, especially the liver. You are right though. Taking vitamin C supplements without proper prescription can be harmful. Many vitamin C supplements actually have artificially derived vitamin and I read somewhere that vitamin C should be taken along with appropriate bioflavonoids for it get properly absorbed into the body. When I am sick, I take alot of vitamin C and water followed by few hours of sleep and I feel better. :p

Thanks Andrew. I wanted to get at a basic understanding of all the vitamins so that when I say ‘oranges are a great source of vitamin C’ I actually know what this means and why it is a good thing.
