Shock absorbers do not actually absord shock. Instead, they work through the process of transference. When the car bounces, the spring transfers the energy created to a piston in a chamber that is filled with oil. The oil causes the energy to dissapate into heat. Shock absorbers do not actually absord shock.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient found in some foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. In one study, vitamin C plus other antioxidants (such as vitamin E, selenium, and beta-carotene) reduced the heart-protective effects of two drugs taken in combination (a statin and niacin) to control blood-cholesterol levels. 2  It is not known whether this interaction also occurs with other statins.
Facts on Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin in most fruits and vegetables. As a water-soluble vitamin, C is not stored in the body and any excess is voided in the urine. That means you need vitamin C daily. Your body uses vitamin C to repair damaged tissues and initiate the growth of skin, tendons, bones, teeth and blood vessels.
