Vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen and is involved in protein metabolism. It is a vital component of connective tissue and also promotes wound healing. Vitamin C presents anti-oxidative properties and can scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress – this contributes to the prevention of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease as well as helps slow down the aging process.

Our Sally-Ann Creed® Scorbi Cee is 100% ascorbic acid. It’s a fine, granular powder that can easily be dissolved in water. One of the best ways to incorporate it into your daily regime is by adding the recommended daily dose to a bottle of water. You can sip on this throughout the day, conveniently getting your daily dose of vitamin C.

Some further health conditions that may benefit from vitamin C supplementation are those suffering from high blood pressure, joint pain, and high cholesterol.  Vitamin C is also becoming increasingly popular in skin products, to assist with dryness, acne, or ageing.
