Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that provides antioxidant support and contributes to the normal function of the nervous and immune system. Vitamin C is required to produce collagen in our bodies. Collagen is a protein that is important for healthy skin, nails, hair and joints. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and increases iron absorption.
Because Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin it can only be stored in the body for a certain amount of time before is excreted in the urine. This means that the body does not build up reserves of Vitamin C - it needs to be ingested daily through supplements or diet.
