Vitamin C plays an important role in the health of our bodies and is an essential ingredient in our body’s ability to heal, promote normal tissue growth, and healthy cell development. Having a regular and easily absorbable form of vitamin C in our diet is very important and since vitamin C can be easily destroyed through the cooking process, it is important to include raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. One easy way to do this is to include a raw herbal and food powder into your routine, like our new ‘C’ Powder!
Use our ‘C’ Powder daily to maintain happy levels of vitamin C in your gorgeous body and take larger (1 tablespoon 2 times daily) when avoiding unwanted colds and the ‘flu.
