vitamin C

Vitamin C is a vital nutrient that supports overall health by acting as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage, playing a key role in collagen production for healthy skin, bones, blood vessels, and connective tissues, improving iron absorption from plant-based foods to help prevent anemia, strengthening the immune system by aiding the body’s defense against infections and shortening cold duration, and since it’s water-soluble and not stored in the body, it must be regularly consumed through diet or supplements to maintain adequate levels.
