It must be obtained daily from food or supplements. As a powerful antioxidant, it neutralises free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage. Free radicals are generated through metabolism and environmental factors like pollution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond antioxidant effects, vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, supporting the structure of skin, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments. It also boosts non-heme iron absorption, a key advantage for plant-based diets. Your immune system relies on vitamin C to maintain white blood cell function and skin barrier integrity. Consistent daily intake is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Chewable Vitamin C?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChewable tablets are ideal for those who dislike swallowing pills or prefer a flavoured supplement.
