Vitamin C is required to produce the collagen present in the extracellular matrix.

<h2>Vitamin C</h2>

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that dissolves in water and can be found in citrus and vegetables. Vitamin C is key to preventing and treating scurvy, which is a disease that occurs from Vitamin C deficiency (most of the time due to malnutrition or severe alcoholism); the first symptoms of scurvy are weakness and fatigue, but if it does not get treated properly, it can progress to anemia, hemorrhage, periodontitis, changes in personality, and finally death.

Vitamin C is a necessary element for tissue healing, collagen synthesis, and neurotransmitter enzymatic production. It is vital for immune system function and is necessary for the functioning of numerous enzymes. It has antioxidant properties as well.

He says ' I have no Class today 'turn in to indirect speech ​
Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
