NutriGold Organic Whole-Food Vitamin C 240 mg 90 plantcaps

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is responsible for more than three hundred metabolic functions in the body, including the production of collagen, which forms the basis of connective tissues such as bones, teeth, and cartilage, production of adrenal hormones, and helps support immune, nervous system, cardiovascular, and eye health. Vitamin C exists in nature as a complex of bioactive compounds including ascorbinogen, bioflavonoids, rutin, tyrosinase, Factor J, Factor K, and Factor P, which work synergistically to deliver therapeutic benefits. Ascorbic acid, which is listed on most product labels as vitamin C, is a man-made compound that does not occur in nature and is distinct from the whole-food vitamin C that is naturally present in foods, along with the cofactors required for its optimal utilization by the body.
