lymphocytes, an important component of our immune system. Ascorbic Acid is also required

mobility of the phagocytes, the type of cell that "eats" bacteria, viral cells,
and cancer cells, as well as other harmful invaders.

resistance to infection. Aids in the utilization of iron. Converts Folic Acid into its
active form. Increases our ability to absorb and store iron. Improves the bioavailability
of selenium.
