Vitamin C supports our immune systems, helps our bodies heal wounds, protects our joints and contributes to collagen formation, which is the main protein in the body.

It is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells against what are called free radicals, which are produced when your body is exposed to potentially cancerous things like cigarette smoke and the sun’s rays.
