"Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Vitamin C supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes the oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, thereby potentially protecting against environmental oxidative stress."


Tactical Support


An essential vitamin that our bodies can’t produce, vitamin C is easily found in many fruits and vegetables.


The Game-Changing Nutrient


Vitamin C appears to reduce the severity of colds and recovery time by 8% in adults and 14% in children.

40mg per tablet

Antioxidant


Helps the body fight inflammation and protects cells from harmful molecules called free radicals


Immune Supporting


Encourages the production and efficacy of white blood cells that help protect the body against infection


Wound Healing

Improves Energy


Helps to convert what we consume into energy and assists in the absorption of other vitamins, minerals and micronutrients
