Why vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It also contributes to normal collagen formation (for the normal function of skin, bones, teeth and blood vessels) and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Per day the syrup provides 255 mg of vitamin C (85 mg per dose).
