Vitamin C
It’s no secret that Vitamin C is the foundation of a robust immune system.
This essential nutrient is renowned for helping your body deflect seasonal sniffles, upper respiratory viruses and the dreaded flu. Vitamin C enhances the production of white blood cells, which are required for fighting off infections, potentially shortening the duration and severity of common seasonal ailments and aid a speedy recovery.
Beyond overall health benefits, Vitamin C is a powerful ally to your skin’s health and appearance …
