Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system. Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for healthy skin, bones, and joints. Vitamin C is necessary for the metabolism of amino acids, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can help maintain healthy tissues by neutralizing free radicals generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors. This product provides calcium ascorbate, a buffered form of vitamin C that is bioavailable and non-acidic; it is enriched with bioflavonoids, which work synergistically with vitamin C. It is recommended to take 1 tablet a day. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
