Vitamin c

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vital nutrient that our bodies need to stay healthy. It's commonly found in fruits like oranges, strawberries, and kiwi, as well as in vegetables like broccoli and peppers. Although our bodies can't produce vitamin C on their own, we can get it from the foods we eat or from supplements.

Vitamin C is mostly made in laboratories through a process that combines certain chemicals. This synthetic form of the vitamin is then used in various products like supplements, fortified foods, and beverages. While it's not naturally produced in a traditional sense like fruits or vegetables, the synthetic version still provides the same essential nutrient that our bodies require.

Food labels often list vitamin C because it's an important antioxidant that helps our bodies fight off illnesses and stay healthy. It's commonly added to products like fruit juices, cereals, and snacks to boost their nutritional value. Vitamin C also plays a role in preserving the freshness of foods and preventing them from spoiling quickly. So, next time you pick up a bottle of orange juice or a pack of dried mango, check the label—you're likely to find vitamin C listed there.
