What is Vitamin C and Immune Function about?

Vitamin C is a crucial micronutrient that plays a significant role in immune function by supporting various cellular activities in both innate and adaptive immunity. It enhances the immune response by promoting the activity of phagocytic cells and lymphocytes, while deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to infections. Supplementation with vitamin C can help prevent and treat infections, with dietary intake recommendations suggesting 100-200 mg/day for prevention and higher doses for treatment.
