Vitamin - C

Ascorbic acid

What is that?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid , is a powerful antioxidant essential for immune function, skin health, collagen production, and iron absorption . Because the body cannot make or store vitamin C, it is important to get enough through diet or supplements.

Vitamin C is found naturally in foods such as citrus fruits, peppers, strawberries, kiwis, and leafy greens . A deficiency of vitamin C can lead to fatigue, a weakened immune system, slower wound healing, and dull skin . Supplementing with highly absorbable forms such as ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate can help ensure adequate vitamin C intake.

How Does Vitamin C Work in the Body? ✅

Supports the immune system: Vitamin C helps produce white blood cells, which fight infections and protect the body from disease.

Stimulates collagen production and skin health: Vitamin C is crucial for the production of collagen , which contributes to firm, elastic skin and healthy joints.

Promotes iron absorption: Vitamin C improves the absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods, thus helping to prevent anemia.

Powerful antioxidant: Vitamin C protects cells from free radical damage and supports the body in detoxification.

This broad action makes vitamin C an essential nutrient for a strong immune system, healthy skin and overall vitality .
