Why Vitamin C is the ultimate winter support

Most people get their Vitamin C from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Capsicum, kiwifruit and citrus fruit are good sources of Vitamin C, though all produce contains it. Vitamin C is easily destabilised by heat, so it’s important not to overcook vegetables as this can destroy up to 25 percent of the Vitamin C present!

With lifestyle pressures, it can be challenging to meet the recommended five-plus serves of fruit and vegetables a day, so we often need a Vitamin C top-up, especially during the colder months for additional immune support. Research has found that Vitamin C is something that you should consider taking as part of your daily routine, not just in winter, to ensure adequate levels are maintained all year-round.

The amount of Vitamin C in white blood cells is often compromised when you experience ills and chills. Ester-C is a special form of Vitamin C which has been scientifically researched and shown to stay in white blood cells for up to 24 hours, and the concentration found in white blood cells was more remarkable when compared to that of ascorbic acid.

Ester-C is a fast-absorbing, non-acidic form of Vitamin C. It’s gentle on your stomach, and provides ongoing support for up to 24 hours as it is absorbed and retained in white blood cells.
