Natural Sources of Vitamin C

Lots of Vitamin C supplements are from artificial forms of vitamin c or highly processed.

There are many fruits you can eat to get vitamin c naturally.

We have grabbed this excerpt from Wikipedia:

The following table is approximate and shows the relative abundance in different raw plant sources. As some plants were analyzed fresh while others were dried (thus, artificialy  increasing concentration of individual constituents like vitamin C), the data are subject to potential variation and difficulties for comparison.

Of course it’s not always possible to have access to fruit so we suggest you use a naturally sourced vitamin c supplement as well.  The Natures Made Vitamin C tablets are natural and source it from Rosehip (which as you can see has high potency).  At about $20 for 4 bottles of 100 capsules each that covers you for a year!  Great way to ensure your diet is natural.

And if you take too much your body naturally gets rid of excess anyway.

They share (on the benefits of Vitamin C:
“Vitamin C’s major role is to make collagen, the main protein substance of the human body that holds connective tissues together in skin, bone, teeth, and other parts of the body. Vitamin C is also critical for the proper function of our immune system, for manufacturing certain nerve transmitting substances and hormones, and for the absorption and utilization of other nutrients, such as Vitamin E and Iron. Vitamin C is also a very important and powerful antioxidant that works in the aqueous (water) environments of the body, such as the lungs and lens of the eye. Its primary antioxidant partners are Vitamin E and the carotenes (Beta-Carotene), as well as working along with the antioxidant enzymes. Vitamin C regenerates oxidized Vitamin E, and restores the antioxidant potential of Vitamin E in the body. Vitamin C is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Family Health, Longevity, Heart Health, Winter Wellness, Prenatal, 4 Basic Vitamins, Immunity, Smoking. “ Source: NatureMade.com
