I am a big believer in Vitamin C, and started taking it at the same time I started to do Penis Enlargement.
The reason I believe it, is because it is really good at healing tissue damage, which, in essence is what Penis Enlargement is.
I attended a lecture on how they are treating burn patients at the state burn center, and the man said they use both Vitamin C impregnated dressings, and also give the patients mega dosed injections of Vitamin C. It is the new big thing in healing injured tissue.
Also, Vitamin C is water soluble, thus, you do not really 'store' up a bunch of it. So it needs replenished frequently.

I've been a big "C" advocate for years. Here's a little info:
Overview:
Vitamin C is essential for the manufacturing of collagen, necessary for tissue repair. It is needed for metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, folic acid, iron. Vitamin C is also vital for healthy immune and nervous systems because it strengthens blood vessels, as it is an antioxidant that participates in oxidation-reduction reactions. Also, it is required for utilizing carbohydrates and synthesizing fats and proteins.
How This Vitamin Works in Your Body:
Vitamin C is one of the most crucial vitamins in your body for the very fact that plays a large role in hundreds of the body’s functions.
The most plentiful tissue in the body is collagen, which is a connective tissue. The primary role of Vitamin C is to help this connective tissue. Because collagen is the defense mechanism against disease and infection, and because Vitamin C helps build collagen, it makes sense that it is also a remedy for scurvy by contributes to hemoglobin production. It promotes the production of red-blood-cell in bone marrow. Ascorbic Acid also supports healthy capillaries, gums, teeth, and even helps heal wounds, burns, and broken tissues. It contributes to hemoglobin and red-blood-cell production in bone marrow while even preventing blood clots. The list goes on. It helps heal urinary-tract infections, and helps treat anemia.
Another large benefit of this vitamin is the fact that it plays a large role in the production of antibodies. When the immune system is being overworked, for example when a cold strikes or when your body is wounded, Vitamin C comes in to play by beefing up the white blood cell count and function. It also functions as a promoter of interferon, a compound that fights cancer. An example of this would be blocking production of nitrosamines which are thought to be carcinogenic
Other functions of Vitamin C include:
Tthe promotion of iron absorption and calcium absorption.
Aids adrenal gland function
Reduces free-radical production
May reduce cholesterol
Potential protection against heart disease
May prevent allergies
May reduce symptoms of arthritis, skin ulcers, allergic reactions
Possible relief of herpes infections of eyes and genitals
May prevent periodontal disease
May reduce toxic effect of alcohol and drugs
May promote healing of bed sores
May retard aging
May improve male fertility
Additional Vitamin C may be required for:
Anyone with inadequate caloric or nutritional dietary intake.
People receiving kidney dialysis.
People over 55 years of age.

Anyone involved in high intensity exercise such as weight training would be wise to supplement their diet with vitamin C.
The human body can only absorb small amounts per intake, I would suggest 3 x 500mg servings spaced throughout the day i.e.1 at breakfast, 1 at lunch, 1 at dinner. The great thing about vitamin C is that you can't really OD on it, if you consume more than is utilised by the body it is simply discharged in your urine
