Indications & Uses
Vitamin C and Vitamin E have both been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. When taken together, evidence suggests they may work synergistically, enhancing each other's protective effect.

Vitamin C is essential for forming collagen and repairing tissue. It also takes part in oxidation-reduction reactions and other metabolic processes, including the synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine, and steroids, and it helps convert folic acid into folinic acid.
Vitamin E helps protect red blood cells from breaking down (hemolysis) and shields the polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes from damage by free radicals. It also helps prevent the oxidation of vitamins A and C.
