WHAT ABOUT VITAMIN C

WHAT IS IT?

VITAMIN C is a water soluble vitamin which cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore we must rely upon dietary sources. VITAMIN C is one of the most widely taken supplements. The best VITAMIN C supplement is one that contains the complete C complex of bioflavonoids. Natural sources of VITAMIN C (ascorbic acid) contain enzymes (impurities) and are more readily absorbed by the body than chemically derived ascorbic acid.
