Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is required in protein metabolism, plays a role in wound healing, and regenerates antioxidants within the body, reduces the risk of chronic diseases and can help battle high blood pressure. Vitamin C (along with vitamin A) also helps maintain eye health.


Luke Coutinho, holistic nutritionist said, “Few people know that bell peppers (capsicum) have more than 2.5 times vitamin C than the same quantity of orange. Fresh amla juice has 20 times more vitamin C than the same quantity of orange juice. If sour juices and fruits do not appeal to your palate, go for pumpkin seeds and flax seeds which are amazing functional foods with decent amounts of vitamin C.”


Supplements with natural sources of Vitamin C are good options and since the body does not synthesize or store the vitamin, it is important to include a sufficient daily inflow in the body through such supplements.
