It was first isolated in 1928 by scientist Albert Szent Gyorgyi. Humans are one of the few species (apes and guinea pigs are the others) that cannot manufacture Vitamin C, and therefore must obtain it from their diet and/or nutritional supplements. It is water soluble and is stored throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the adrenal glands. Vitamin C has many health benefits, but its probably best known as a cell protector, a powerful antioxidant and for supporting healthy immune function. It is a highly versatile and health-enhancing nutrient that is active throughout the the body. There is a large body of scientific evidence that supports the validity of the health claims attributed to Vitamin C.*
Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient that is typically excreted quickly from the body, in this form it remains in the system longer thereby increasing the benefits.*
