Vitamin C Crystals

Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system, and Vitamin C Crystals from NOW deliver 2.25 g of that vitamin per serving. Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and therefore is important for skin, bone and joint health. Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism and the utilization of many nutrients such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients.
