Vitamin C

C is very important as a daily supplement as its rich in antioxidants that help maintain good health.

Vitamin C benefits:

Vitamin C has always been linked to immune support, and also:

• Contributes to iron absorption from plant-based foods
• Contributes to maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical stress
• Helps to metabolise fats and proteins
• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums by supporting collagen formation in the body
• Contributes to the normal function of blood vessels
• Helps in wound healing

Why we should supplement with vitamin C daily:

• Vitamin C is water soluble which means that it gets flushed out of the body
• The human body itself can’t produce it, so intake through diet is necessary
• We don’t get enough through foods and fruits, so supplementation is key
• Some medications, like aspirin, oral contraceptives, and corticosteroids, may interfere with absorption
