Specializes in Podiatry

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. You can take as much as you want to, and will not over-dose, as it is excreted through the urine. Vitamin C helps to boost the immune system and prevents diseases such as Scurvy. I am not aware of it assisting in the healing of ligaments.
