Vitamin C

Often associated with immune system support, vitamin C is vital for the growth, development, and repair of body tissues. It’s involved in several body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli are excellent sources of vitamin C.

While scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, is rare today, a lack of this vitamin can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and sore joints and muscles. Regular intake through diet is recommended as the body doesn’t produce or store vitamin C.
