Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a water soluble vitamin with many functions in the body.
Fun fact: 💡 did you know strawberries and bell peppers contain more vitamin C than oranges? Oranges are associated with Vitamin C because it was one of the first documented studies.
VITAMIN C IS ESSENTIAL FOR:
[ ] Building block in producing collagen: a protein used to build skin, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and blood vessels
[ ] Assists in the absorption of iron.
[ ] It is an antioxidant, reducing free radicals (oxidative stress), therefore reducing damage to our DNA, reducing premature aging, and slowing development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease or cancer.
— Free radicals occur with illness, inflammation, chronic stress, cancer, and sometimes exercise.
[ ] Vitamin C may lower blood pressure.
[ ] Vitamin C may lower uric acid levels in gout patients
Studies are always evolving and we learn more about the human body. If you are having poor intake, we can help with supplemental IV vitamin nutrition.
