Vitamin C has many functions in the body: it supports optimal immune function and helps maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. It is also a potent antioxidant preventing free radical damage to cells and is involved in the synthesis of collagen and other connective tissue, so it is easy to see why vitamin C tablets are so popular. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is naturally found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. However, it cannot be stored in the body, so it needs to be consumed on a daily basis. Vitamin C capsules & tablets are a good way to ensure you are getting the recommended daily amount, as the body doesn’t produce its own ascorbic acid.

This range includes vitamin C tablets and capsules, which have been specially formulated for optimal efficiency.
