Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in keeping your body healthy. It is a powerful antioxidant, helping protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. Beyond that, Vitamin C is essential for:

  • Collagen production, which supports healthy skin, cartilage, and blood vessels

  • Immune system function, helping your body fight infections

  • Iron absorption, especially from plant-based foods, helping prevent deficiencies

Because it is water-soluble, Vitamin C isn’t stored in the body, making regular intake from food important.

 

 

Sources of Vitamin C

Getting enough Vitamin C is easy with a variety of fruits and vegetables:

Fruits (Richest Sources)

  • Citrus fruits: oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits

  • Strawberries, kiwi, blackcurrants, guava, papaya

Vegetables

  • Bell peppers (especially red ones)

  • Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower

  • Spinach, kale, cabbage

  • Tomatoes and tomato juice

 

Quick Tip: Cooking can reduce Vitamin C content, so eating some fruits and vegetables raw is a great way to get the most benefit.

Including Vitamin C-rich foods in your diet every day can help boost immunity, protect your cells, and support healthy skin and connective tissues. A simple addition like a citrus snack or fresh salad can make a noticeable difference to your overall wellbeing.
