What is vitamin C? Centuries ago, long distance sailors often experienced scurvy, a condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, characterized by swollen bleeding gums and redness of recently healed wounds. By the year 1500, scurvy was considered a major cause of disability and mortality among long journey sailors. These days, vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful nutrients for general health. This essential vitamin provides support to many bodily functions, such as the immune and nervous systems. Vitamin C also reduces tiredness and fatigue, protects your cells from oxidative stress and assist collagen formation, helping the normal function of cartilage, skin, teeth and bones. Vitamin C is indeed a super vitamin! Why is ours better? Traditional vitamin C supplements contain ascorbic acid which may cause indigestion in some of us with sensitive tummies.
