Vitamin C: More Than Just for Colds

by NutriNerd » Sat Jul 12, 2025 7:55 am

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant crucial for immune function and collagen synthesis.
For athletes, it plays a role in:
  • Reducing oxidative stress from intense exercise.
  • Supporting collagen formation for healthy joints and skin.
  • Enhancing iron absorption (especially from plant sources).
  • Boosting overall immunity.
While readily available in fruits and vegetables, supplementation (e.g., 500-1000mg daily) can be beneficial, especially during high-stress periods or cold/flu season.
"Protect your body to keep training hard."
Do you regularly supplement with Vitamin C?
