6 Reasons Why Vitamin C is Great for Your Body
Vitamin C is the most popular vitamin on the market. It’s the vitamin everyone gravitates towards when feeling under the weather; we know all too well about glugging down orange juice. Nothing quenches a vitamin C thirst quite like a tall glass of orange juice. But vitamin C extends well over and beyond just oranges and orange juice.
Our Good Vitamin Co Vita C range is just as equally delicious and even more convenient. It’ll be sure to bring bright smiles to busybodies.
You should know vitamin C shouldn’t just be taken when you’ve got the ills and chills. It would be best if you took them daily (keeping the recommended doses in mind, of course) to get all the great benefits.
Here is a refresher on the daily recommended doses for vitamin C according to MayoClinic. Women are advised 75mg daily, and men are recommended 90mg daily.
Now let’s get onto the 6 reasons why vitamin C is great for your body.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant as well as a natural antihistamine. When the body is exposed to an allergen, an inflammatory chemical called histamine gets released from the body. Vitamin C slows down the body’s allergic reaction by decreasing the body’s histamine production.
Vitamin C can reduce mild symptoms like a runny nose and watery eyes if you suffer from hay fever. So next time you take hayfever medication, pop in some vitamin C!
Vitamin C is the best supplement for boosting immunity. Research shows that vitamin C is essential for tissue repair and growth all over the body. You could call vitamin C the superhero of all vitamins. It definitely packs a beneficial punch to the body’s immunity!
The only downside to vitamin C is that the body doesn’t produce it; it’s water-soluble, meaning it doesn’t store it anywhere throughout the body. You can only get vitamin C into your body through the foods you eat or supplements. This means it’s super important we make a conscious effort to eat as much vitamin C rich food as possible.
Here are some great sources of vitamin C rich food to slip into your diet.
- Sweet and satisfying strawberries
- Bright and beautiful broccoli
- Perky pineapples
- The popular potatoes
- Kind on the tummy kiwifruit
- Cheerful cauliflower
Just be sure to remember that different cooking methods may reduce the amount of vitamin C. Still, steaming vegetables is the best way to retain their vitamins.

The adrenal glands (stress glands) need vitamin C to keep your body on the go. Vitamin C gets used up more than usual when your body is stressed.
