Boost your immune system with vitamin C

WITH the unpredictable weather nowadays, it is inevitable to get sick especially to those who are always on the go and juggling several tasks in a day. Taking daily supplements is one way to be more resistant against sicknesses.


According to experts, one needs a dose of 500mg of Vitamin C in addition to eating five kinds of fruits and vegetables. Besides boosting your immune system, Vitamin C enables your body to produce collagen, a protein essential to every cell of the body.  This vital nutrient connects the tissues and supports the skin, bones, and muscles, thus providing your body the strength and resilience it needs to fight the daily wear and tear brought about by an active lifestyle.

In 2010, a fruit drink was launched that boast of its 500mg of Vitamin C in every 500ml bottle called Sm.art C+ Fruit Drink.

According to Sheraleen Chan-Tiu, Liwayway Marketing Corporation VP for marketing, “We decided to offer this drink because we believe that our customers can benefit from this refreshing fruit drink packed with Vitamin C.”

Tiu added that this drink contains the equivalent Vitamin C of either 11 lemons, 8 oranges, or 4 grapefruits concocted by Oishi, the manufacturer of innovative and trendsetting snacks.

It also  promises to have no added preservatives, zero artificial coloring and zero artificial sweeteners.
