Which Foods are High In Vitamin C?

Which Foods are High In Vitamin C?

Vitamin C...


We've all heard of it, but do you know why your body really needs it? 


We talk about the incredible things Vitamin C does for the body, what food is highest in Vitamin C, how much should we be taking and the best way... 

What Does Vitamin C Do?

Vitamin C molecular make up




Vitamin C, also know as Absorbic Acid host a whole heap of benefits to the human body. 


Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the vast majority of some of the body's normal functions, such as:


  • Contributing to the normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, as well as the collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage. 


  • It also supports the normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, gums and teeth. 


  • The nervous system, the immune system and psychological function are also supported by the consumption of Vitamin C, with the added protection of cells from oxidative stress. 


  • Finally, Vitamin C reduces tiredness and fatigue, supports recovery during and after intense exercise and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. 


This is why it is so important why we consume the right amount of Vitamin C every day as it cannot be stored in the body. 

What Food is Highest in Vitamin C?

How Much Vitamin C Should I Take Daily?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has several important functions.


These include:


  • helping to protect cells and keeps them healthy
  • maintaining healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage
  • helping with wound healing


The NHS advises adults aged 19 to 64 need 40mg of Vitamin C a day. 


Vitamin C can't be stored in the body, so you need it in your diet every day.

Mandarins Are A Source of Vitamin C

What is The Best Way to Take Vitamin C?

There is not really a 'best' method for consuming Vitamin C daily, but as it cannot be store in the body, we must ensure it is a part of our diet every day. 


Whether that be through fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C such as oranges, broccoli and peppers or by taking a daily Vitamin C supplement such as our JUI-C. 


Jui-C is made from the Acerola Cherry fruit, which is naturally high in Vitamin C, contributing to the normal function of the immune system. Whilst most other Vitamin C supplements are synthetically created, Jui-C is a natural, raw ingredient designed to maximise absorption. 


Our Jui-C contains 1200mg of Acerola Cherry per 2 capsules, providing 300mg of natural Vitamin C.
