Vitamin C
Our Naturopaths Say
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can lead to cell death and chronic diseases. Vitamin C is also important for the formation of collagen, a protein that is essential for the health of the skin, blood vessels, and other tissues. In addition, vitamin C plays a role in the absorption of iron and is necessary for the functioning of the immune system. Consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, berries, and leafy green vegetables, can help ensure that the body has an adequate supply of this important nutrient. Our team of accredited naturopaths can assist you in deciding if supplementing with vitamin C is right for you.
