Vitamin C as Calcium Ascorbate crystals can be added to water or stirred into soft drinks. It is a convenient way to take this important vitamin as part of a healthy diet. Vitamin C is needed for a wide range of body activities. Vitamin C also helps to mop up free radicals and so stress such as high-level sports, smoking, pregnancy and lactation, some drugs, exposure to toxins and alcohol uses up Vitamin C. Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored in the body, thus a constant supply is always needed. Too much Vitamin C will cause diarrhoea as the body attempts to flush out the excess. Vitamin C can be found naturally in fresh fruit and vegetables and is destroyed by oxygen and heat.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
