It has many roles and has been linked to impressive health benefits:

Cell protection:

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports our body’s natural defences by protecting cells from undesirable molecules called free radicals.

Immune defence:

Vitamin C is involved in the body’s immune response by encouraging the production of white blood cells and helping them function more effectively when needed.2

Growth and repair of cells:

Vitamin C plays a role in making collagen, a natural type of ‘scaffold’, providing strength and structure throughout the body, essential for the growth and repair of our bones, gums, skin, tendons, teeth and blood vessels.
