For example, as well as vitamin C: Acerola cherries also contain vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin; rosehips contain calcium, iron, selenium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, silicon and zinc; blackcurrants contain anthocyanins, flavonoids and polyphenolics; parsley leaf contains volatile oil components (including myristicin, limonene, eugenol and alpha-thujene) and flavonoids (including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol and luteolin); and elderberries contain flavonoids such as isorhamnetin, kaempferol and quercetin. And many more…
NaturaC is gentle and non-acidic – no artificial vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This is noteworthy because some people can’t tolerate acidic and citrus-based supplements, which may aggravate certain medical conditions.
What’s more, many synthetic vitamin C supplements (which tend to contain ascorbic acid), are packed with unwanted fillers, binders, additives and colours. In many cases, these excipients can actually reduce absorption of the active ingredients and are potential allergens.
Our fruit, berry and herb-filled food form vitamin C supplement contains none of these added “nasties” and is therefore a great addition to your daily balanced diet.
Immunity
Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, protection of cells from oxidative stress, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increases iron absorption.

What does “food form” mean?
“Food form” or “food state” simply means that that a product has been specially prepared to be as similar to its real food ingredients as possible (with minimal processing), to help the body to recognise and assimilate the nutrients.
