It boosts the immune system, protects the cells from free radical damage and it also smooths out the texture of the skin when used topically. I see to eat that i get my daily Vitamin-C from natural fruits juices plus ascorbic acid supplements. Ascorbic acid does a lot of things inside and outside the body.

What I have been doing in order to avoid the "horse pill" tablets is to find the chewable types of vitamins, which are obviously easier to swallow, often come in pleasant flavors, and probably improve absorption of the vitamins themselves since you can chew them first and help them dissolve. Interestingly, I have found that you do not have to resort to buying the Flintstones kiddie stuff, either. Our supermarket (HEB) actually sells chewable multivitamin tables for adults, which usually have an orange flavor added to them and are sufficiently palatable.

If I don't take my vitamins in the morning, I tend to run out of energy early in my afternoon. Well, I know for me, personally, vitamins help me with my energy level.
