Vitamin C

Another antioxidant vitamin is vitamin C. It is required in collagen production and the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which are crucial for brain function. Adequate intake of vitamin C reduces your risk for cardiovascular disease, cataracts, and esophageal, lung and colorectal cancers. Citrus fruits and their juices, strawberries, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli are some sources of vitamin C.
