If You’re Missing This Vitamin, Your Arteries Could Be In Danger | Dr. Mandell

Vitamin C plays a much bigger role in heart health than just being an antioxidant. It protects your arteries from oxidative damage, supports collagen formation to keep blood vessels flexible, and helps regulate nitric oxide so your arteries can open properly. Low levels of vitamin C make the endothelial lining more vulnerable, which accelerates arterial aging and increases cardiovascular stress.
