Vitamin C Powder (from Organic Cherry)

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own. For this reason, it’s necessary to get it from food. It helps your body produce collagen, a structural protein found in your connective tissues that helps your wounds to heal. Vitamin C also helps synthesis an amino acid called L-cartinine which transports fatty acids in the body and is important for the production of some neurotransmitters. So what are the health benefits of the vitamin? Vitamin C offers many health benefits for your skin and is an important antioxidant. It’s found in all sorts of delicious fruits and vegetables and may even be useful in combatting respiratory and systemic infections.

Many people still don't get enough vitamin c from their diet. Furthermore there is a difference between the bare minimum intake to prevent deficiency and an effective amount to help you thrive. Some people require much higher levels than others. 

Stress, excessive physical activity and malabsorption can result in lower levels of vitamin C. Cooking can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin c in foods so be sure to eat plenty of raw vegetables and fruit. 

Science suggests that vitamin c is very well tolerated and we recommend that 500mg per day is a safe, effective intake for adults looking to increase vitamin c levels.

Vitamin C is well documented in research to support the immune system, bones, iron absorption, muscle function, collagen formation and much more!

Vitamin C supplements are usually derived from the synthetic version of the vitamin, ascorbic acid, much of which is made from GMO corn and refined with harsh chemicals. Ascorbic acid may also be combined with other mineral ascorbates such as calcium ascorbate or magnesium ascorbate. These ‘buffered’ products are less acidic than straight ascorbic acid. They may be gentler on the gastrointestinal system, but they are still synthetic. The best way to get your vitamin C is from natural sources. We only use vitamin C from acerola cherry – natural and effective!

As with anything we put into our bodies, the organic option is almost always the healthier one. For example, organic foods tend to provide more beneficial nutrients, like antioxidants, than non-organic food. Those with allergies to certain chemicals, foods or preservatives may experience relief from these symptoms when they exclusively eat organic foods. Organic produce typically contains fewer, if any, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, so you know you’re not also ingesting anything bad for your health. 

Your supplements will be sent in our glass jars. They're sealed with aluminium foil and screw top lid. Sounds simple? It's not. We invested a lot of money into making glass jars more sustainable. Normally glass jars will have unrecyclable seals and lids due to the type of sealing they use. We weren't happy and wanted a better solution. We tried to use our lovely paper pouches but unfortunately they aren't suitable for this powder.

Just keep your jar tightly screwed after opening and store in a cool dry place or in the fridge.
