Vitamin C is necessary for a healthy immune system, strong connective tissue, and for general good health. Dietary sources include citrus fruits, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and other berries, fruits and vegetables.

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin C in Your Diet?

Certain chronic disorders, smoking, and other factors may mean that you need more vitamin C than you might be getting from your diet. If you are not getting enough vitamin C you may be tired, you may bruise easily, and you may just feel generally ill. If your diet doesn't give you enough vitamin C, you may need to add supplemental vitamin C (buy direct) to your diet.
