A Precious Vitamin

Whether it’s for stronger immunity, healthier skin, or better iron absorption, increasing your daily vitamin C intake is good for you.

How to Boost Vit C

But before you start shopping for a supplement, try these 5 effective tips to get more vitamin C naturally from food!

2

Drink Your Vitamin C

Raw produce has the most vitamin C. So, whizz greens and berries into a healthy smoothie, just like this one!
