Description
Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system.* Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health.* Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism and the utilization of many nutrients such as folic acid and iron.* It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body’s cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors.* From the FDA’s website: “Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.” Natural color variation may occur in this product. This product is sold by weight not volume.
