Every day, the body is exposed to environmental free radicals from pollution, cigarette smoke, car emissions, and UV rays, as well as from natural metabolic processes, all of which contribute to oxidative stress. Vitamin C plays a key role in protecting cells from this oxidative damage and supporting normal immune function. However, because vitamin C is highly unstable and easily destroyed by heat, light, and cooking—and cannot be stored in the body—we need a consistent daily intake. Lifeplan Vitamin C provides 1000 mg of buffered vitamin C (1250% NRV) along with rosehip, acerola, and citrus bioflavonoids to enhance antioxidant support, while buffering helps reduce acidity for gentler digestion.
