Vitamin C and the protein made with it (Collagen) are key
most everyone has subclinical scurvy
adequate C can clean out arteries
animals that produce C have clean arteries
cancer cells send out signals to destroy collagen to make room to grow
C is required to maintain skin, arteries, hair, etc.
C is required for immune system
Women might have the ability to produce small amounts of C until child bearing years are over.
Smokers use up more C and age faster
Our need for large amounts of C is a result of our lost ability to make C in our bodies from glucose like most animals. Humans are missing the enzyme gulonolactone oxidase but everything else needed for production is there.
C is required for proper glucose processing.
The sources that work the best that I've found are:
Emergen-C (1111% per packet)
Bolthouse C-Boost (1200% per cup natural from Acerola & Camu)
Now True-C (Amla 667% natural)
Doctors Best Camu Powder (667% natural)
These sources aren't over acidic like most tablets and capsules.
My teacher took Vitamin C supplements religiously until they apparently caused some kind of crystal stone or cyst to form in his body. He was taking a lot though.
I suggest eating more fruit with Vitamin C first before trying expensive supplements.

He took them daily (i don't know how many times a day but i think he was taking more than 2x what normally people take). The stone (kidney stone?) was really painful to get out he said.
