What is Ascorbic Acid?
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is well known for being helpful in curing the common cold. It also acts as an antioxidant, helping to delay ageing, alleviate allergies, boost the immune system, and eliminate toxins from the body. Moreover, Vitamin C produces collagen, the structural protein that holds the body together.
Natural sources of Vitamin C include fresh citrus fruits, broccoli, cabbage, papaya, and kiwi. Note that Vitamin C degrades and disintegrates quickly when cooked.
