Product Details

Vitamin C has antioxidant qualities and is essential for the health of the body's connective tissue. For example, it is important for the health of the gums, skin, cartilage and bones. It is also crucial for healing, contributes towards iron absorption from the blood, and is vital for healthy neurological functions.

Unlike other animals, humans are unable to make vitamin C naturally in the body so we must consume it each day to maintain sufficient levels for it to function as an antioxidant. This formula is water soluble so it cannot be stored in the body; it provides beneficial antioxidants that help protect cells from the harm caused by free radicals and contribute to the healthy functioning and structure of blood vessels.

The ingredients in this formula do not produce any known allergic reactions. It contains no milk products (lactose), starch, wheat, gluten, added sugars, flavourings, colours or preservatives. The food ingredients are prepared from whole oranges, delivering the nutrients to the body in their food state form.
