Anusree of III DC and Elizabeth Babu of II DC jointly conducted an awareness program on the ‘Importance of Vitamin C on Health’ at Cochin College on 25th August 2011. The talk was very interesting and informative. Since speakers explained everything through powerpoint presentations, it became easy for everyone to understand.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that dissolves in water.  The excess or leftover vitamin C in your body will be excreted through urine. It is not getting stored in your body. Hence the need of vitamin C is constantly required and you should balance your diet for that. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is needed for normal growth and development.
