Feature summary

Since its discovery in 1928, vitamin C has been recognized as an essential nutrient for human health. Vitamin C supports more aspects of human health than any other known nutrient. It is the body’s primary antioxidant, immune system booster and plays an important role in cardiovascular health. Vitamin C is needed for growth and repair of tissues because it is used in the formation of collagen, a protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron, heal wounds, and repair and maintain cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Water-soluble vitamin C is known as ascorbic acid. As important as it is for so many aspects of health, vitamin C cannot be stored by, or produced within, the body. While many foods contain vitamin C, most people add a vitamin C supplement to their diet to ensure adequate dietary intake. Chewable Vitamin C tablets from Sunkist Vitamins contain only 100% natural source colour and flavour for an easy way to add Vitamin C to your diet.
