Also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in foods, predominantly fruit and vegetables. It’s many benefits include the growth and repair of bones, skin and blood vessels.
The Science Bit
Vitamin C is known for its immune boosting properties. It plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and specific neurotransmitters.
