Three different forms of vitamin C are included, to optimize the absorption of this essential vitamin for health and vitality. Why Do We Need Vitamin C? Everyone knows we need vitamin C every day to stay healthy. In fact, vitamin C plays vital roles on many levels in maintaining not only a healthy immune system but also keeping body tissues and structures strong. Vitamin C is a fundamental player in building the bricks and mortar of the body. Biosynthesis of collagen, the key connective tissue protein requires vitamin C. Connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage need vitamin C to remain intact, which explains why in a severe state of vitamin C deficiency (known as "scurvy"), tissues lack the structural strength collagen provides and the body literally begins to fall apart. How does Vitamin C Help Keep Skin Healthy? Skin is a type of connective tissue. Like other connective tissues, skin is kept firm and strong by collagen.

A flood of recent research shows vitamin D is important for cardiovascular health, immune support, healthy muscles and joints, brain health and much more.
