Vitamin C

Vitamin C: the most well-known vitamin there is

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is indispensable for the human body and is involved in no less than 300 different processes. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant for the body. The body does not produce vitamin C itself, so we rely on our food intake for it. Vitamin C is mainly found in vegetables and fruits, such as kiwis, citrus fruits, and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin C supplements come in various forms and dosages. Additionally, vitamin C is available as a non-acidic variant, which is gentler on the stomach lining. This is referred to as Ester-C or buffered vitamin C.
