Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient known for its important effect on the immune system. Vitamin C is also essential for the production of collagen (structural protein in connective tissues) and is therefore important for the health of the skin, bones and joints.
Vitamin C is also essential for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis and the use of many nutrients such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that protects cells and molecules of the body from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules produced during normal metabolism and exposure to stressors.
The Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release is specifically designed to provide long-term release of Vitamin C and includes Rose Hips as an additional source of Vitamin C.
