Vitamin C

Acerola-based natural vitamin C, extracted from the acerola fruit (Malpighia emarginata), is a dietary supplement used to increase the intake of vitamin C in the body. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in supporting a healthy immune system, aiding in the absorption of iron, contributing to the production of collagen for healthy skin, capillaries and bones, and acting as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Acerola is particularly rich in vitamin C, surpassing even citrus fruits traditionally considered a reference source. Taking a natural form of vitamin C such as that from acerola may be a preferable option to synthetic supplements for those who want an additional supply of vitamin C. However, it is always advisable to consult a doctor or nutritionist before start taking any food supplement.
