During the course of human development we lost the ability to make Vitamin C in the body and now rely on obtaining this essential vitamin from dietary sources.
Supplementation is highly recommended as Vitamin C is easily destroyed by modern methods of food processing and storage.
Since Vitamin C is water-soluble it usually only stays in the body for one to four hours and needs to be replaced more than once during the day to provide continuous protection.

Vitamin C is:

• Promoting tissue growth and repair.
  • Used for energy production.
  • A potent antioxidant that helps to prevent the ravages of free radicals.
  • Essential for collagen and bone formation.
  • A powerful immune booster – fights infections.
  • An aid for adrenal gland function.
  • A help to detoxification.
  
  Symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency may include:
  
  • Frequent colds and infections, bleeding or receding gums, nose bleeds, red pimples on the skin, easy bruising, slow wound healing, and lack of energy.
