Collagen formation for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones and cartilage.
Normal immune and nervous system function.
Protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Reduction in tiredness and fatigue.

How much vitamin C do you need?

Under Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 of 25 October 2011, the NRV of vitamin C in adults is 80mg / day.

However, as a vitamin that contributes to normal immune system function both during and after intense physical exercise, in such circumstances, the recommended amount may be insufficient.

This is because athletes have greater energy demands, derived from the wear and tear of their physical activity.
