More about our Vitamin C range
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant. Also known as ascorbic acid, it plays vital roles in immune function, collagen production, iron absorption, and protecting cells from damage. While found in many fruits and veggies, vitamin C is not produced by the body. Taking a daily Vitamin C supplement ensures you meet your needs for this critical nutrient.
At G Baldwin & Co, we offer premium vitamin C supplements to deliver maximum immune support. Vitamin C is especially important for those who regularly exercise, smoke, or are vegetarian and can also help to boost skin glow and elasticity. For pregnant women, vitamin C supplements are vital as needs increase during pregnancy. Pair your vitamin C with iron supplements for optimal absorption and benefits.
Explore our huge selection of quality vitamin C supplements and capsules expertly curated to support wellness in all life stages. Our in-house experts are also happy to provide personalised advice.
