Regular exercise is associated with a reduced incidence of illness and infection, however long periods of strenuous exercise can temporarily depress various aspects of the immune system. Travel can also impact the immune system, so it is important to provide your body with sufficient nutrition support on the go. The immunity supporting benefits of vitamin C are widely known and recent research has demonstrated that vitamin C can also protect the immune system during periods of intense activity. Other benefits of vitamin C include the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and its contribution to normal collagen formation and the normal function of cartilage. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin although the body does not store it, so a regular daily intake is required. Each delicious chewable Vitamin C Tablet provides a convenient solution to keep the levels in your diet topped up, providing 500mg vitamin C alongside 16mg mixed citrus bioflavonoids. Mixed bioflavonoids are believed to support and prolong the actions of vitamin C to deliver the support you need during training and travel.
