Vitamin C

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that the human body cannot produce itself, so it has to be obtained from food. Vitamin C is abundant in, for example, peppers, blackcurrants, sea buckthorn berries, rose hips, citrus fruits, cabbage and broccoli. The vitamin C content of food decreases during long storage and heating. Now Foods Vitamin C-1000 provides 1000 mg of vitamin C in one tablet.
