Doesn't My Body Make Vitamin C?
Unfortuantely, no!
Our bodies can neither create or store Vitamin C...
Excess Vitamin C is normally excreted so overdose is not normally a concern, and more often than not people don't consume enough anyway!
Up to 2,000mg a day can be consumed, any more and your stomach can be affected.
Our super potent Jui-C is made with raw acerola cherries!
This bright red cherry shaped fruit is sometimes known as Barbados cherry, originally discovered in Southern Mexico and the Caribbean. It is the highest known natural source of Vitamin C, with approximately 30 to 40 times the vitamin C of Oranges.
We specifically chose the highest quality base ingredient for Jui-C rather than create a synthetic Vitamin C tablet which your body would struggle to utilise. Also we do not strip out any part of the raw ingredient, which is known to also include calcium, iron, B vitamins, and phosphorus.
