Shield Vitamins™ Vitamin C Gummies, 250 MCG

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid or ascorbate, plays a critical role in many bodily functions. It is a water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained through diet since the body cannot store it. Citrus fruits like oranges and tomatoes are excellent sources of Vitamin C, and it is also found in other plant-based foods.

As an antioxidant, Vitamin C protects the body against harmful free radicals and helps regenerate other antioxidants like Vitamin E and Beta-carotene. This effect may help prevent or delay the onset of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin C is also essential for collagen synthesis, a vital component of connective tissues. It plays a central role in wound healing, protein metabolism, and the synthesis of L-carnitine and other neurotransmitters.

While severe Vitamin C deficiency is rare, many people have low levels of this crucial nutrient. Ensure you obtain sufficient levels of Vitamin C to optimize your health and well-being.

Are you at risk of Vitamin C deficiency? Those with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other conditions that impede nutrient absorption are susceptible. So are those with poor eating habits, fad dieters, seniors with limited meal choices, smokers with compromised nutrient absorption, and pregnant or lactating women who require more Vitamin C in their diets. Don't let Vitamin C deficiency affect your health - be informed and take action.

Want to keep your body healthy? Vitamin C deficiency can lead to serious health issues. Learn what factors might contribute to this condition. Lack of fruits and vegetables in your diet is the most common one, but did you know that your body might also have trouble absorbing Vitamin C? This could be due to malfunctioning organs, intestinal or colon blockages, or smoking cigarettes. Stay informed and take care of your health.

According to the American Association of Endocrinologists amounts above 10,000 IU or 3000mcg of Vitamin D and 2,000mg of Vitamin C are not recommended. The combined values of Vitamin C (390mg) and D (140mcg) in the Immunity-Optimizing Vitamin Kit is ideal, safe, and acceptable.
