Who Needs Extra Vitamin C? Although all of us need vitamin c there are others who need it more than us. Who are they? 1. Elderly Folks As one grows older the ability to absorb vitamin c also decreases. 2. Smokers Smoking not only harms the lungs but it also depletes vitamin C from the body. 3. Undergoing Surgery If you are undergoing surgery you would need an increased dose of vitamin C as your body would need it to recover. How it helps in preventing cancer? Vitamin C neutralises the free radicals and thus reduces the chance of cancer cells from developing. Those who eat vitamin C regularly have shown to be at a lower risk level in getting cancer.
