Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant preventing the
premature oxidation (aging) of cells. It has been proven
to support a strong immune system and cardiovascular
health. Further research shows that vitamin C is
involved in maintaining proper levels of serotonin in
the brain. Serotonin is a mood-balancing chemical in the
brain that is associated with a sense of well-being and
happiness.
