What Vitamin C does for You? （Part 1 - Immune System)
Vitamin C, The Power Antioxidant
It is a nutrient found in food such as fruits and vegetables. It is an antioxidant that helps protect our cells against free radicals. Our body cannot produce nor store this water-soluble vitamin, so it is important to include them in our diet all the time to maintain healthy levels.
Benefits of Vitamin C

- Increases metabolism and promotes cell regeneration
- Reduces tiredness

Most of the Vitamin C supplement aren't made from Oranges!
Most vitamin supplements on the market are processed with low-cost chemicals in the laboratory. Although the structure of these synthetic Vitamin C is similar to natural plant based Vitamin C, it is only a simplified imitation.
Scientists have confirmed that the biological activity and absorption of synthetic Vitamin C are poor and may have side effects meaning it cannot replace whole food vitamins.
Your Body Cannot "Read" and "Use" Most of the Synthetic Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)!
Most synthetic vitamins are with low level of vitamin concentration and may contains cheap fillers, raising agent, stabilizer, thickener, colourings, anti-caking agent etc. (e.g. Talc, mineral oil, synthetic wood fibers, polymer) that satisfy visual and extends durability.
In conclusion, synthesized vitamins do not have much benefit on our body.
100% Natural Vitamin C
Vitamin C from raw or whole food is in its natural state which contains micronutrients, dietary fiber and phytochemicals (e.g. Bioflavonoids) with much better bioavailability and absorption.
