Vitamin C Shows Promise in Protecting Lungs from Air Pollution

Recent studies suggest that Vitamin C may offer a protective effect against lung damage caused by fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5). Acting as an antioxidant, it helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in lung cells. This research, while promising, is currently based on animal models and lab-grown human tissues, requiring further human trials.

• Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant against PM2.5 pollution's harmful effects.
