How It Works: The Body’s Master Antioxidant
Vitamin C is a true workhorse nutrient, participating in hundreds of processes that are vital for keeping you healthy and resilient.
Support for a Resilient Immune System
One of Vitamin C’s most well-known roles is in supporting the immune system. It promotes the production and function of white blood cells, which are the body’s primary line of defense. Because physical and emotional stress can deplete Vitamin C levels, a consistent intake is crucial for maintaining immune readiness.*
Essential for Collagen and Wound Healing
The body requires Vitamin C to produce collagen, the primary structural protein found in skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Therefore, adequate Vitamin C is essential for maintaining healthy skin elasticity and promoting the efficient healing of wounds. In addition, it functions as a master antioxidant, helping to neutralize damaging free radicals and regenerate other antioxidants in the body, like Vitamin E.
