The Importance of Vitamin C:

– Support children’s growth and development

– Increase the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies

– Essential for iron absorption

– Maintain healthy bones, cartilage and teeth

– Heal wounds and form scar tissue

– Act as a powerful antioxidant to protect the body from free radical damage

Why supplemental Vitamin C is needed?

– Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it cannot be stored by the body and therefore must be replenished daily

– Vitamin C in food will be easily destroyed or lost during cooking, storage or processing

– Picky eaters with low intake of fruits and vegetables do not get adequate Vitamin C
