It’s not uncommon to turn to vitamin C when we are feeling under the weather and want to strengthen our defenses, but vitamin C has so much more to offer you.
Among the many benefits, vitamin C protects cells from free radicals and helps minimize risk of chronic disease. Vitamin C can also…
- help manage blood pressure, a risk factor for heart disease.
- encourage collagen growth to promote proper healing for cuts, scrapes, and surgical wounds.
- help minimize the severity of colds and flu and shortens the length of sickness.
- reduce the likelihood of getting a urinary tract infection.
- assists the body in absorbing iron.
There’s no question vitamin C is powerful. Here at MHP, we’ve long-touted the benefits of vitamin C and our Alka-C Powder, an effervescent powdered l-ascorbic acid made from organic and non-GMO tapioca. We now have Alka-C in capsule form, the same high-dose vitamin C that is easy on the stomach and digestive system, making it easier than ever to incorporate into your daily routine.
