Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that we don’t have the ability to produce in our bodies; we can only get it through our diets. It’s high in antioxidants, which have been shown to support the immune system, neutralize free radicals, and play an essential role in collagen formation, which is necessary for strengthening bones and blood vessels. Vitamin C also promotes healthy teeth and gums and assists in the absorption of iron. The vitamin C in this supplement is from a natural source of vitamin C, which unlike chemically derived versions, is not quickly excreted in the urine.
