Vitamin C Helps Seniors Avoid Hip Fractures
Over 1.5 million people per year suffer fractures in the US with the most common being fractures of the hip. These fractures cost the health system $14 billion per year. The taking of this small amount of Vitamin C everyday can therefore help reduce health care. As a large bonus Vitamin C is a powerful anti aging antioxidant. Antioxidants eliminate free radicals which have been found to be a major cause of diseases like osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and stroke.
