Vitamin C is a nutrient found in many fruits and vegetables. It plays several roles in the body, including supporting normal immune function and helping the body make collagen.
Food sources of vitamin C
Citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, and leafy greens are all useful sources. Variety matters more than chasing one “superfood.”
What about supplements?
Some people choose vitamin C supplements for convenience or to help meet their intake goals. Choose products that clearly state the amount per serving, and check with a pharmacist or clinician if you are buying for a child, are pregnant, take medications, or have a health condition.
