🍊 Vitamin C: Why You Need It Year-Round
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it isn’t stored in the body and needs to be replenished regularly through food or supplements. It plays an essential role in:
- Tissue repair and wound healing
- Collagen formation for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissue
- Neurotransmitter production to support brain health and mood
- Immune system support to help fight illness
- Protecting cells from oxidative stress (free radical damage)
Because it leaves the body quickly, daily intake is important. While about 60 mg/day is enough to prevent scurvy, research suggests that around 300 mg/day supports optimal health and wellbeing.
🍇 Where to Find Vitamin C:
- Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes)
- Berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants)
- Vegetables, especially leafy greens and brassicas (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts)
🧊 Why Winter Can Be a Challenge:
Up to 80% of Vitamin C (and other water-soluble vitamins) can be lost within just four days of harvest. In winter, fresh summer fruits are less available, and those in stores are often picked early or shipped long distances - meaning they may have lower nutrient levels by the time they reach your plate.
For this reason, considering a high-quality Vitamin C supplement during the colder months can help maintain healthy levels, support your immune system, and keep your energy up year-round!
