McKesson Geri-Care Vitamin C Strength Tablet

McKesson Geri-care Vitamin C also called ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that can be found in a variety of foods. It acts as an antioxidant in the body, helping to protect cells from free radical damage. When our bodies convert the food we eat into energy, free radicals are formed. Free radicals are also present in the environment due to cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet light from the sun. Vitamin C is also required by the body to produce collagen, a protein that aids in wound healing. Furthermore, vitamin C improves iron absorption from plant-based foods and helps the immune system function properly to protect the body from disease.
