What is vitamin C?

 

It is mostly found in fresh fruits and vegetables like citrus fruits, peppers, berries, tomatoes, leafy greens and potatoes – new potatoes have a particularly high content. The problem is that vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that can’t be stored in the body, so we have to make sure we reach the required levels every day.

 

A supplement could top you up and act as insurance if you don’t always hit your 5-a-day.

 

What does vitamin C do?

 

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, supports multiple bodily processes and helps to keep us feeling physically and mentally well.
