Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is mainly present in fruits and vegetables. The consumption of such foods is important since, unlike other animals, humans do not have the ability to produce this essential micronutrient themselves. This means we must top up our vitamin C daily, through the foods we eat and/or food supplements. Because it is water soluble, this essential vitamin can also easily be lost during cooking and long-term storage.
Vitamin C intake is required more now than ever before, due to the high amount of processed foods consumed, which are lacking in this essential vitamin and antioxidant. This formula contains vitamin C from multiple sources ie herbs, berries and ascorbic acid.
Vitamin D is a hormone-like substance that unlike other vitamins your body can manufacture under the right conditions. While obtainable from the diet, we can synthesise the levels we need when the skin is exposed to sunlight during spring and summer. Public Health England recommends everyone takes Vitamin D supplements during autumn and winter.
The yellow pigment in turmeric, called curcumin, is a powerful antioxidant shown to reduce free radical damage in the body. Curcumin has long been used in ayurveda as a blood purifier, stomachic, carminative, bile stimulant and, more particularly, to strengthen liver function.
Turmeric is perhaps most commonly associated with its anti-inflammatory actions. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection, often causing localised redness, swelling, pain or heat. It may also cause loss of function of the involved tissues. Acute inflammation is typically a protective and localised response to infection or injury. It is designed to heal the body and restore normal tissue function.
