Vitamin C, well known for its immune support action, forms a major part of most Australian diets, leading to presumptions that clients are meeting nutritional requirements. While this essential vitamin has a plethora of other health benefits, more Australians may be deficient than we realise with the re-emergence of scurvy in modern day populations.

Key highlights

  • Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and must be consumed in the diet.
  • Vitamin C deficiency is on the rise and should not be overlooked.
  • Vitamin C absorption takes place in the small intestine. Intestinal dysfunction may impede absorption.
  • Smaller, frequent doses of vitamin C enhance bioavailability.
  • Vitamin C is involved in processes throughout the body, including the immune system, collagen production, adrenal health, and iron absorption.
  • Pairing vitamin C supplementation with bioflavonoids or glutathione can enhance the therapeutic action of both.
