A classic anti-oxidant nutrient,very well known for its boosting immune function is Vitamin C.
Soon citrus fruit will be at its prime. I personally can’t eat enough grapefruit and or oranges yet, am I actually eating enough Vitamin C to ward off all the invasions my body needs to fight on a daily basis?
I believe not.
This is why it’s really important to supplement with Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is depleted by stress, infections, fatigue, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperatures. Birth control pills, smoking, and alcohol deplete Vitamin C. As we age, there is an even greater need for Vitamin C to regenerate collagen.
Symptoms or conditions you may have that suggest you need more Vitamin C

Not all Vitamin C products are created equal! As a matter of fact most are incomplete or petroleum derived. If your current Vitamin C label says absorbic acid, your Vitamin C is missing part of its parts! Absorbic Acid is only one part of what one would find in an orange picked off a tree. Vitamin C is water soluable. You need protective dosages of it all day long!
Sure beats eating oranges around the clock! Even if they are yummy!!
