Humans belong to a small group of animals that rely on external sources to get vitamin C. But because we can neither produce nor store vitamin C, we need to obtain a certain amount of it from our food intake. According to studies, many cells need to maintain high levels of vitamin C in order to function properly. These cells belong to some of our organ systems, such as the immune, digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. By supporting their healthy functions, vitamin C is able to confer a wide range of health benefits.

Although many products say their vitamin C comes from whole food sources, that source is usually GMO corn. Over 90 percent of the vitamin C sold in the United States is now actually from China. And, because of a lack of regulation and the absence of rules that require proper labeling, it's difficult to know if you’re consuming products that are made in China or were created using raw materials from China.

In this featured article, you will learn about the different roles of vitamin C inside the body, and the best ways to replenish your body with this essential vitamin.
