Vitamin C intake through the diet is essential to human health, as our bodies are
not able to produce this important vitamin. The benefits of Vitamin C are many. It is vital in the
production of collagen, which is the human body’s main protein substance that works to maintain
our connective tissue, cartilage, gums and tendons. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant.
Health First® Vitamin C is in a timed-release formula. Because Vitamin C is water-soluble, it passes
quickly through the body. In a timed-release form, the Vitamin C is slowly released over a 6-8 hour
period, making the benefits of Vitamin C available to the body over a longer period of time than
regular Vitamin C supplements.
