Why might you be low on vitamin C?
Contrary to appearances, vitamin C deficiency is a common problem, even if you try to eat healthily:
- A diet poor in fresh fruit and vegetables.
In autumn and winter we eat fewer raw products, which are the best source of vitamin C.
- Heat processing destroys vitamin C.
Cooking, baking or long storage of products destroys most of this vitamin.
- Increased demand from your body.
Stress, intense physical exercise, infections, pregnancy – all of these mean the body needs far more vitamin C than usual.
- Smoking and air pollution.
Free radicals produced by smoking and smog use up large amounts of vitamin C.
- Tiredness, weaker immunity, dull skin.
Low vitamin C levels can cause more frequent infections, faster-appearing signs of fatigue and worsening skin condition.
This can be changed – all you need is a clean supplement from a natural source!
