Ascorbic Acid 500 mg, 100 Tablets

Vitamin C Benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. Furthermore, it contributes to iron absorption, the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, and normal energy metabolism. Including enough vitamin C in the daily diet is fundamental for general well-being.
