The primary function of vitamin C is to help manufacture collagen, the main structural protein of connective tissues in the human body. Still, vitamin C is crucial in variety of biological functions, particularly the immune system, skin, blood vessels, arteries and gums. It is an important antioxidant, providing protection from free radicals and the oxidative stress resulting from normal cellular function. In addition, vitamin C is important in brain health, where it supports neurotransmitter (brain chemical) synthesis, normal stress hormone production and serves as a cofactor for several metabolic enzymes, including hydroxylation reactions that are essential for collagen formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeekay's Vitamin C is a formula that combines vitamin C with various bioflavonoids to mirror the way vitamin C is found in nature.

It has also been shown to support epithelial barrier function in the intestines, to stabilize mast cells by releasing cytoprotective factors and to promote the balanced release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells.
