A measuring spoon is included for easy use. This product is ideal for those seeking a concentrated and versatile source of vitamin C, whether for mixing with water, juice, or smoothies.

Benefits of Vitamin C

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Furthermore, vitamin C promotes normal collagen formation, which is necessary for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones, and teeth. It is important to remember that these benefits are obtained within a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
