So, what is Vitamin C?

Usually thought of as the first go-to for the common cold, Vitamin C is widely known for boosting your immune system. But it turns out that this water-soluble vitamin has an array of other important benefits to the body. Humans cannot synthesize Vitamin C, which means you need to get this vitamin from outside sources.

• Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant and helps to repair damaged cells and clear free radicals.
• Vitamin C is essential for the biosynthesis of collagen and concurrently plays a large role in wound healing.
• Vitamin C is great for your hair and helps to strengthen hair follicles while stimulating growth.
• Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, which in turn leads to a better utilization of oxygen and helps you combat anemia and fatigue.
• Vitamin C promotes nail strength and even helps prevent hangnails.
• Vitamin C helps firm skin, even out fine lines, and help keep skin evenly moisturized - this is due to its ability to support collagen production.

With such a broad range of health benefits, Vitamin C is a no-brainer to include in our products. Vitamin C plays a role in healthy hair growth, youthful elasticity of skin, and helps your nails grow strong and beautiful.
