Vitamin C Benefits
The best sources of vitamin C

Vitamin C is plentiful in a number of fruits and vegetables. A few of the best sources include citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits and tangerines, as well as leafy green vegetables like green peppers, peas, potatoes, tomatoes and cauliflowers. It is also worth noting that ascorbic acid is damaged by heat, light, air, water, smoking and cooking.

Vitamin C, a water soluble nutrient, plays a vital role in numerous biological functions and is a key ingredient for a healthy life. It is also known as ascorbic acid, which means “no scurvy”, a disease that is caused by a vitamin C deficiency.

Almost all animals and plants are able to synthesize their own vitamin C, however the human body cannot produce it’s own supply. For this reason, we must obtain our vitamin C from animal and plant sources, as well as through the use of vitamin C supplements.

One of the main vitamin C benefits is that it is water soluble. Any excess in your system will be ejected through your urine, meaning that the vitamin is rarely related with toxicity and overdose.



How vitamin C benefits your health

Most people are aware that vitamin C is good for their health, and that sources such as oranges and lemons are rich in the vitamin, but few people fully understand exactly what impact this vital nutrient has on your body. Here are a number of the key vitamin C benefits.

Drink a glass of orange juice or orange with slight lemon keeps you energized for the day especially when you are feeling weak.
