Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. The body cannot store it, so we must get it daily from the foods we eat.

Vitamin C is needed to make collagen, a protein responsible for growing and repairing cells in our bodies that produce everything from skin to muscle, ligaments and blood vessels. It helps keep our immune system strong and reduces blood sugar. It also has the unique quality of being able to help regenerate vitamin E.

Vitamin C can be found in all fruits and vegetables.

Excellent sources of vitamin C include:

cantaloupe
watermelon
citrus fruits
blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries
tomatoes
broccoli, brussel sprouts
sweet and white potatoes
