WHEN we think of vitamin C, the first thing that usually comes to mind is its role in boostW ing immunity. But did you know that vitamin C does much more? Not only does it help strengthen the immune system, but it also benefits our skin and overall health. Vitamin C is essential for building a healthy, smart immune system, which means the immune system can recognise harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria and take the right action at the right time. It strengthens the body's defences and helps us fight off infections. Additionally, vitamin C supports the production of collagen, a protein that keeps our skin looking youthful and healthy. It also acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals.
