Vitamin C often tends to be in the highest demand in the autumn, when colds and viruses are more active. However, vitamin C intake is essential for a strong immune system all year round, and not just during virus season. Stress, strain, environmental pollution, viruses, pathogens and adverse dietary choices affect our bodies on a daily basis, regardless of the season, so we need a constant and effective boost to stay healthy and strong.
Vitamin C as a foundation of the immune system and an anti-inflammatory antioxidant
Vitamin C is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant that supports the body’s resistance to inflammation, as well as cardiovascular and skin health. Vit. C has an excellent ability to increase the number of white blood cells in the body and effectively destroy pathogens such as Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV), shingles, and streptococcus, which can weaken our immune system all year round. Vitamin C, on the other hand, ensures that toxic residues produced by pathogens do not accumulate in the liver and persist in the body. Because the liver uses vitamin C in all of its more than 2,000 chemical functions, this vitamin is critical to the liver’s function. Vitamin C helps to cleanse the liver of toxic compounds, disperse fat deposits and restore liver vitality after stress-induced adrenaline surges. Vitamin C also helps to support adrenal function and protect the central nervous system from damage caused by neurotoxins. In addition, it is a truly effective aid in the treatment of various cysts and tumours. But what are the best sources of vitamin C? Let’s take a closer look!
Vitamin C in food
The best natural sources of this vitamin are various fruits, vegetables and berries. Among others, rosehips, kiwis, oranges, mandarins, tomatoes, peppers, blackcurrants, sea buckthorn, kale, cabbage, lemons, pineapple, goji berries, mango and many other fruits and vegetables. Freshly squeezed fennel and celery juices are also an excellent source of vitamin C. The vitamin in these juices is very well suited for the body and easily absorbed.
Vitamin C in freeze-dried fruit and berry powders
When consuming large quantities of fruit and vegetables seems difficult or costly, nutrient-rich freeze-dried powders made from vitamin C-rich and nutrient-dense ripe fruit come to the rescue, bringing you the juicy fruit in the most convenient and easily consumed form.

Why is ascorbic acid form not the best choice?
Vitamin C, in the form of ascorbic acid, is on the shelf of almost every pharmacy and you’re probably familiar with it, but it’s not an effective helper. In fact, vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid is so acidic in nature that it can lead to discomfort as well as abdominal pain and diarreha if you have a sensitive digestion. Also, its digestibility and effects are not comparable to those of the highly bioavailable Micro-C form of vitamin C, so the ascorbic acid form should certainly not be the first preference.
