How to Eat More Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water soluble antioxidant vitamin that helps control infection, neutralize free radicals and aid in the body's absorption of iron. It also helps to make collagen, which is vital to the health of teeth, gums, bones and blood vessels.[1]
Unlike most animals on the planet, humans are incapable of manufacturing their own source of vitamin C,[2] so it's one area of nutrition that requires daily attention and "restocking". Good sources of vitamin C include any food that contains at least ten percent of the recommended daily allowance per serving, and the wonderful news for anyone aiming to increase their intake of vitamin C is that this covers a vast range of healthy food, and it won't be difficult for you to improve your intake of vitamin C.
