Vitamin C may well be our favourite vitamin, especially when it comes to immune health. Here are some of the many ways in which vitamin C contributes to the optimal functioning of the immune system:
- By stimulating the production of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting off infections
- By supporting the skin (epithelial cell) as a barrier, preventing pathogens from entering the body
- By protecting against environmental oxidising stress by boosting antioxidant activity in the skin
- By promoting apoptosis or programmed cell death and clearing of all neutralised pathogens preventing tissue damage
So if you're looking for a vitamin boost with a bit of a kick, why not try our 'Spice-C' drink?
Ingredients
- 2 handful kale
