Vitamin C
Water-soluble vitamin C usually referred to as ascorbic acid, is crucial for maintaining good health. Unfortunately, the human body cannot generate vitamin C on its own. It is, therefore, critical to consume adequate amounts of this essential vitamin through food or supplements.
The primary function of vitamin C is to ward off colds and flu. But this vitamin is also necessary for preserving the shape and functionality of the tissues in the skin. It plays an essential role in the production of the skin’s collagen and is the energy source for cells and neurotransmitters. Additionally, it is a potent antioxidant that removes toxins from the body.
Vitamin C is a key component in treating HPV-related issues such as genital warts because of its capacity to strengthen the immune system and promote wound healing and the development of healthy skin tissue. For a topical treatment for warts, a Vitamin C tablet can be crushed and mixed with water to form a paste. It is then applied directly over the wart and left overnight before removing it. Some suggest that adding lemon juice to vitamin C makes it more potent. The acidity of lemon juice may be responsible for this.
