Vitamin C side text MY

Vitamins are a vital part of our diet. Without vitamins, we won’t have the necessary supplements to synthesize nutrients and convert food into energy. Of all the vitamins, Vitamin C is one of the most essential. A lack of Vitamin C could lead to a myriad of health issues such as scurvy, flu, and other skin-related and immune system illnesses.

Where do we get Vitamin C?

Most of us know that we can get Vitamin C from fruits such as oranges. This is due to the fact that Vitamin C forms naturally in fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, the consumption of fruits will only give us a fraction of what we should be getting. A wholesome diet is another trick to getting the correct dose of Vitamin C per day. If the natural form of Vitamin C is not enough to supplement our intake, we look to additional supplements and vitamins to give us more. Vitamin C is often synthesized into capsules or chewable tablets (for children) and usually is given a citrus or orange flavour to make it interesting.

What brands of Vitamin C could I get?

Some of the more famous and reliable brands of Vitamin C supplements are Chewies Vitamin C, GNC, Seven Seas, Redoxon and Champs. Do ensure that the dosage and daily intake of Vitamin C in each capsule or spoonful is in line with the adult or child’s recommended intake before consumption. Also, if you are prone to allergies, do consult a doctor before consuming any form of Vitamin C.
