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 is an essential nutrient involved in the repair of tissue. Foods that contain vitamin C include citrus fruit, tomatoes, red peppers, and potatoes. Vitamin C was discovered in 1912, isolated in 1928, and first made in 1933. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.
