FAQs
What is vitamin C?
Less commonly known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is one of the body’s most essential vitamins.
As a water-soluble vitamin, our bodies cannot store it. That means we need to get it from the foods we eat.
Vitamin C is mostly found in a range of fruits, including oranges, strawberries and blackcurrants.
If we cannot get enough vitamin C from our diets, a supplement is a great way to support our Vitamin C levels.
While vitamin C deficiency is uncommon, historically it has been known to lead to scurvy.
What does vitamin C do in the body?
The body uses vitamin C to keep the nervous system functioning normally.
Vitamin C is also an antioxidant and protects against the effects of free radical damage.
It also helps the production of collagen, which is an essential protein for the normal function of teeth, cartilage, bones, skin and other crucial things within the body.
What is zinc?
Zinc is another essential mineral. The body cannot produce zinc; neither can it be stored.
Like vitamin C, we get zinc through our diets. If we can’t do that, a daily supplement is an excellent alternative option.
Vegans and vegetarians are commonly deficient in zinc. That is because zinc is predominantly present in meat, shellfish, dairy and eggs, which cannot be consumed by those following a vegans and vegetarian diet.
While zinc is also found in legumes, seeds, nuts and whole grains, there is not usually enough to help vegans and veggies get the daily amount of zinc they need.
That is why a zinc supplement could be beneficial to anyone on a meat-free or plant-based diet.
What are the health benefits of zinc?
Zinc is present in almost every cell in our bodies. As a result, it has a range of benefits.
For starters, it can help the body process proteins, fats and carbs (macronutrients).
It also supports the immune system and maintains normal bone health.
Also, by playing a part in the production of protein and DNA synthesis and cognitive function.
How many vitamin C and zinc tablets should I take?
Dissolve one Holland & Barrett Vitamin C & Zinc Orange Effervescent tablet each day in 200ml of fresh water.
Each tablet has a pleasant and refreshing orange flavour.
Both men and women need a daily dose of 80mg vitamin C, which equates to half an orange.
These stores need to be replenished every day – that’s why a Holland & Barrett Vitamin C & Zinc Orange Effervescent tablet could help.
Are Holland & Barrett Vitamin C & Zinc Orange Effervescent tablets ok for vegans?
Yes, these tablets are suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
