Vitaminotherapy in the treatment of rheumatism Vitamins are an obligatory component of complex treatment of any disease. Vitamins are substances necessary for the body to carry out a full metabolism. Vitamin preparations are used for both prevention and elimination of their shortages in the body, fraught with serious metabolic and functional disorders of all organs and systems.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C( in other words ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin found in many plant products. A lot of it in dog rose, gooseberry, black currant, citrus fruits, parsley, pepper, cauliflower, etc.

Vitamin C plays an important role in the body in many immunological and biochemical processes: strengthening of vascular walls, reduction of capillary permeability, activation of antibodies inInfectious processes, suppression of inflammatory and allergic processes, synthesis of corticosteroids in the body. Vitamin C is necessary for absorption of iron from the digestive tract( gastrointestinal tract), for the full functioning of the nervous tissue and for the synthesis of collagen. Glucocorticoid drugs, just like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have the opposite effect( inhibit the synthesis of collagen), so taking ascorbic acid is an integral part of the therapy for rheumatism.
