Your immune system works to guard your body every day. There are several factors that can affect your immune system. These include age, lack of sleep, stress, lack of physical activity, and poor nutrition. It’s important to take care of your immune system through a healthy diet and lifestyle. Supplementation with antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin C can also help support your immune system.†
Vitamin C is well known for being an essential nutrient and an antioxidant that plays an important role in immune health.† Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production, an important type of connective tissue that supports the body’s physical immune barrier – the skin. The skin works to keep unrecognized substances from entering the body. Vitamin C also helps fight free radicals and is essential for the optimal functioning of white blood cells.†

Humans cannot synthesize their own Vitamin C, so it must be consumed through dietary sources. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and cannot be readily stored in the body. An adequate amount of Vitamin C should be consumed on a daily basis. However, many of us don’t consume sufficient amounts of Vitamin C daily from foods such as fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is also sensitive to heat, so cooking methods may deplete Vitamin C content in foods.
There are multiple factors, including age, gender, stage of life, and smoking status, that affect the amount of Vitamin C a person needs each day. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults is between 75-90 mg per day depending on gender, but some experts recommend higher intakes of at least 200 mg per day for healthy individuals.
The main source of Vitamin C in foods we eat are fruits and vegetables. Foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, cantaloupes, raw vegetables, and potatoes are all rich sources of Vitamin C. Unfortunately, national survey data shows that Americans are not meeting recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake, resulting in about 40% of Americans having inadequate Vitamin C intake.2
