WHY IS VITAMIN C SO IMPORTANT?

You’re out doing your monthly shopping for your family’s supplements, and vitamin C is at the top of your list because you know how good it is for you. We all know that vitamin C, one of the most talked about vitamins, is needed for your family’s health and well-being. The body doesn’t naturally make this antioxidant, so it’s crucial to obtain it from vitamin C-rich foods and supplements.2

Have you ever considered what vitamin C does for your body? You may be surprised to learn that vitamin C offers numerous impressive benefits for your family’s health, including:1

  • Helps to form and maintain bones, cartilage, skin, and blood vessels.1
  • Is an antioxidant that strengthens your immune system. 1,2
    • As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps remove unwanted substances, such as free radicals, that result from natural bodily processes, exposure to pollution, and other factors. Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, which can, in turn, cause cell damage.
  • Helps the body to produce collagen.1

    Did you know? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and plays a critical role in connective tissues like those found in our organs, bones, cartilage, teeth, and, of course, our
    hair, skin, and nails.2

  • Enhances wound healing.1
  • Helps the body absorb iron, which aids in delivering oxygen around the body.1,2
  • Plays a role in neurotransmitter synthesis and cognitive function.
    • Neurotransmitters are important for sending messages from the brain to the rest of the body.2
  • Helps with reducing tiredness and fatigue.
  • Supports normal psychological function.


Isn’t it amazing that one vitamin can do all of this? We are sure you’re even more convinced of the importance of getting the right amount of vitamin C for your body.
