Vitamin C – your body’s first line of defence.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the key micronutrients that are essential for the smooth functioning of our body. As the body cannot produce it itself, nor can it store it, a regular daily intake is crucial for maintaining optimal well-being and a strong immune system.
The following foods are the richest sources of vitamin C in nature and in our diet:
- Fruit: rosehip, kiwi, citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruit), berries (particularly blackcurrants and strawberries) and acerola.
- Vegetables: red and yellow peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, spinach and sauerkraut.
However, the fast pace of modern life, mental and physical stress, environmental pollution, heat treatment of food and seasonal fluctuations lead to periods when the need for this exceptional vitamin increases significantly and is difficult to meet through diet alone.
In these capsules, the potency of vitamin C is further enhanced by rosehip extract (Rosa canina), which, with its long tradition of use in herbal medicine, perfectly complements its action.
