Nova Scotia Organics Vitamin C Acerola Powder is an essential ingredient for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.

Benefits:

• Vitamin C isn’t just used to fight off vitamin C deficiency or scurvy (cue the eyepatch wearing, sword wielding peg leg pirates), it is needed for healing wounds, the metabolism of fats, proteins amp; hormones, and repairing/maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also helps the body absorb iron from plant sources and is a powerful antioxidant that helps to keep those “free radicals” at bay and prevents the oxidative stress from our daily lives.
• The Vitamin C we offer has a secret weapon - Acerola Berries. Our Vitamin C isn't created from synthetic ascorbic acid, often made from GMO corn syrup and called 'natural'. Our Acerola extract powder is naturally concentrated with Vitamin C contained in the fruit, plus the natural fruit bioflavonoids help your body absorb it better.

Recommended Use:

• To help the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body, and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
