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.
Vitamin C, initially identified as the factor preventing the disease known as scurvy, became very popular for its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C is an important co-substrate of a large class of enzymes, and, among other things, regulates gene expression by interacting with important transcription factors.We still do not know why humans lost the capability of synthesizing vitamin C. This event probably had evolutionary significance.onsequently, the lack of vitamin C results in the formation of non-functional collagen in blood vessels and bones, which accounts for most of the severe bone and blood vessel related symptoms.
