VITAMIN C
Also known as ascorbic acid, this vitamin is an essential ingredient for a healthy body and is found in fresh fruit & vegetables.
Most of us grab something filled with vitamin c when we have a cold, but what other conditions benefit from taking this vitamin? Quite a few to be honest; acne, bronchitis, HIV, dysentery, boils, TB, and infections of the bladder and prostate. It can also be taken to alleviate depression, physical & mental stress, fatigue and ADHD. Eating Vitamin C also increases the amount of iron absorbed from our foods. There is also evidence that Vit C can also protect the heart and blood vessels, aiding in a reduction in the risk of stroke and heart attacks. Physical endurance is improved by having vitamin c in our diet as well as an aid to reducing the signs of aging as it helps to support the cells of the body including collagen which when they begin to deplete, cause fine lines and wrinkles to form.
Smoking reduces the levels of Vitamin C in the body
To ensure my levels of this vitamin are topped up, I take a Vit C supplement every day, my favourite one is by Quest, available from most independent health food shops.
