Vitamin C - the hard working, go-getter for our body!

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for everyday inner body and outer skin health.

What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C (AKA ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble antioxidant naturally found in food. Our bodies cannot synthesize Vitamin C, therefore, we rely on obtaining it through our diet and then store it in our bodies for later use.

As an antioxidant, it has the job of protecting our body from free-radical damage (due to environmental factors like sun exposure, pollutants and our diet). It is also a team player, and regenerates existing antioxidants in the body like Vitamin E!

That's not all though, Vitamin C also facilitates the absorption of iron, is renowned for its immune-boosting abilities and is also required to synthesize collagen.

Like a lot of us, Vitamin C is a hard-working multitasker. It covers a lot of ground both internally and externally – helping our body be in fit, fighting shape while also keeping our skin, joints and muscles healthy, strong and youthful.
