Product Description
Vitamin C is a critical nutrient required by the body for important chemical functions. It is an important component in the manufacturing of collagen, which is the substance that builds bone, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Additionally, Vitamin C assists in the absorption of iron.
Another important responsibility of Vitamin C is its role as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are molecules which bond to free radicals — freely-floating particals that could potentially cause damage to health cells — to prevent them from causing harm.
Because the body does not manufacture its own Vitamin C, it is essential to ingest enough Vitamin C either from raw fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet, or in a dietary supplement form.*
