The Vitamin C Controversy: Open Evening - 6 September

Posted: Tuesday 6th September 2011

The effectiveness and role of vitamin C in health and wellbeing is controversial, with media, the medical community, CAM practitioners and the public often in disagreement.

There is agreement however, that Vitamin C is a water soluble antioxidant needed for normal growth and repair of tissues throughout the body. The body is unable to make Vitamin C on its own, nor can it be stored. It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet.

Recent reports have now controversially claimed that the antioxidant can even extend life, prevent disease, and save lives.
