Vitamin C? Vitamen C is a common misspelling of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is commonly used for treating or preventing the common cold. It is also claimed to be useful for other conditions, such as reducing the risk of heart disease. The supplement has antioxidant effects and may increase iron absorption and improve immune function. Most people tolerate vitamin C well, but side effects can occur with high doses, such as insomnia, heartburn, and nausea.
