Beeline Vitamin C 500mg Effervescent Tablets x 20 Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) cannot be made by the body. It must therefore be supplied in the diet. The main dietary sources of Vitamin C are fruit and vegetables. Numerous surveys have shown that many people do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. Also, much of the Vitamin C content within food may be destroyed during storage, by heat and during cooking. In the body even more is destroyed by stress, cigarettes (50mg per cigarette) and by external pollutants such as smog and smoke. It is generally accepted now that a daily intake of between 500mg and 1000mg is required to maximise the benefits of Vitamin C.
