Nature Made Vitamin C 500 mg - 2 Bottles, 180 Softgels Each

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant, helping to protect our body's cells, including immune cells, from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species* In addition to its role as an antioxidant, vitamin C helps to support a healthy immune system, and is required for collagen formation, synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, and helping to convert fat from food into cellular energy* It is recommended that men and women 19 years and older consume 90 mg and 75 mg per day, respectively. That recommendation increases in men and women who smoke to 125 mg and 110 mg, respectively, due to the increased oxidative stress they experience. Recommendations for pregnant and breast feeding women are 85 mg per day and 120 mg per day, respectively, and are higher to address the increased needs of mother and baby. Nationally representative research data demonstrates that Americans are not meeting recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake or vitamin C intake on average.
