How does your body use vitamin C?

Vitamin C is absorbed through the digestive system and carried in the blood to tissues throughout the body. There, it supports immune function, helps form collagen, provides antioxidant protection, and improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods.²,³ 

Because the body cannot make vitamin C or store large amounts of it, you need to consume it regularly.³ 

How can you get vitamin C every day?

Vitamin C can come from food, supplements, or a combination of both. Small, practical habits can help make it part of your routine.¹,³ 

• Add colour to meals: Sweet peppers, leafy greens, tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts provide vitamin C.¹ 
• Choose fruit for a snack: Strawberries, kiwi, and citrus fruits are convenient sources of vitamin C.¹ 
• Pair it with iron: Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from foods such as beans, lentils, and leafy greens.³ 
• Fill in your routine when needed: When food choices or schedules vary, a vitamin C supplement offers another way to add vitamin C to your day.
