Vitamin C is essential for the overall growth and repair of our cells. Besides being well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune system, it is also a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals, promotes healthy ageing and supports healing.

One of the more important functions of vitamin C is to support our immune and nervous system. Those with adequate levels of vitamin C are able to fight off infections compared to those with vitamin C deficiency.¹

Vitamin C increases iron absorption, the mineral essential for normal formation of red blood cells andhaemoglobin.⁵

Vitamin C is required to produce collagen, a protein that plays a critical role in the structure of our bodies. Collagen helps minimise wrinkles, age spots and pigmentation from sun exposure. It also helps to provide better skin tone and colour.^2,3

Vitamin C is needed for our body to heal wounds, repair and maintain healthy cartilage, bones, teeth and skin. Research shows that deficiency in vitamin C is associated with poor collagen formation and delayed wound healing. People who has severe vitamin C deficiency may lose teeth, bleed easily, and lose the strength of their bones.⁴
