Vitamin C

What we use: Ascorbic Acid¹⁸

What it does:

  • Makes collagen (the glue that holds your body together)¹⁸
  • Powers up your immune system¹⁸
  • Works as an antioxidant (protects cells from damage)¹⁸
  • Helps pull iron out of your food¹⁸

When you don't get enough:

  • Your gums bleed¹⁸
  • You bruise from barely bumping into things¹⁸
  • Cuts won't heal properly¹⁸
  • Hair grows in weird corkscrew shapes¹⁸
  • Scurvy. You'd think a pirate's favorite letter would be R(arrrr), but their true love is actually the C(sea). Vitamin C. Because they have scurvy.¹⁸

Why this form: Sometimes the basic form is already the best. Okay I know we've been saying that a lot but not everyone gets special forms, okay? Some micronutrients are like Krillin and that's okay. Ascorbic acid is pure vitamin C, simple as that.¹⁸
