VITAMIN C :

Vitamin C leads to the production of collagen, a protein  which supports normal growth, bone strength and wound healing. So regular intake of this vitamin is helpful in wound healing. Whether the wound is a minor cut, a broken bone, burns or deep wounds, it readily speeds up the healing process.

Vitamin c Not only does it boost your immune system and reduce your risk of suffering from iron-defficiency anaemia in pregnancy.Vitamin C plays a vital role in your baby's physical development too.
