What is Vitamin C?

One of the most effective nutrients in the body due to its extraordinary versatility!

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential vitamin for our body, which is found in food and can be used as a dietary supplement. With a combination of antioxidant properties and other benefits, it plays an important part in our tissue repair, enzyme and immune system functions. A wide range of fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of Vitamin C, such citrus fruits, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, raw bell peppers, and strawberries.

Most notable as a immune-boosting defense against the common cold, Vitamin C can also:

●    Fight against high blood pressure
●    Lower the risk of heart disease
●    Help your body absorb iron
●    Boost overall immunity by assisting white blood cells
●    Lower risk of dementia and memory loss
 
Aside from food, Vitamin C is available through commonly used dietary supplement compounds such as ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate. Mineral ascorbates are a group of salts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that may be better tolerated by the human body than ascorbic acid.
