Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 650mg capsules
Description
Health Leads Vitamin C provides 650mg of pure ascorbic acid in a clean, additive-free formula. Each capsule contains only Vitamin C and a plant-derived HPMC capsule shell, with no fillers, binders, magnesium stearate or artificial additives.
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and normal collagen formation. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and increases iron absorption.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
What Is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce in sufficient amounts. Unlike many animals, humans rely on dietary sources or supplementation to maintain normal Vitamin C levels.
As a water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin C is not stored in large quantities, making regular intake through food or supplements important as part of a balanced diet.
Natural food sources include citrus fruits, berries, kiwi fruit, peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and leafy green vegetables.
Why Choose Ascorbic Acid?
Ascorbic acid is the pure and most widely used form of Vitamin C in food supplements. It is chemically identical to the Vitamin C naturally present in foods and provides a straightforward way to supplement this essential nutrient.
Health Leads has chosen to formulate this product using pure ascorbic acid without combining it with unnecessary ingredients, allowing you to know exactly what is in every capsule.
