We’ve all heard about the potential benefits of vitamin C for preventing colds – although it is still hotly disputed amongst researchers. But a look at recent news shows that vitamin C may also have a lot to offer in other areas:   – Increase antioxidant concentrations – Vitamin C may help to boost concentrations of other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, in the blood. After conducting a cross-sectional survery of nearly 700 older adults, Dr. Paul Jacques at Tufts University found good reason to believe that vitamin C works in conjunction with other vitamins. Results showed that those who consumed high levels of vitamin C had 18% greater amounts of vitamin E in their blood than those taking lower levels of vitamin C.
