VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant present in many fruits and vegetables, however as it is is a water-soluble vitamin we cannot store it in the body, which means we need it from our diet every day.

To say that vitamin C is beneficial would be an understatement.

It supports normal growth and development and helps the body repair damaged tissue, and as Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, it also assists in the production of collagen, a protein that’s necessary for healthy skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.
