If there’s one thing that’s hit home over the last few months, it’s that being healthy is key when it comes to fending off viruses and just feeling good.
The pandemic has also shed new light on consumer habits. People are looking for healthier options and more nutrient-rich foods that help the body function properly.
There’s a lot of buzz out there about functional foods and drinks—ingredients that promote sleep and wellbeing, reduce stress, improve intellectual faculties—and this trend isn’t going away anytime soon. One of the most popular ingredients? Vitamin C.
At Lassonde, we offer a range of products that contain a number of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C. And there’s no shortage of options! Available in several convenient, easy-to-serve takeout formats, our 100% real fruit juices, and other beverages like our juice and spring water blends, are also an excellent source of vitamin C.
Vitamins: our best ally
But let’s take a look at the benefits of vitamin C, a water-soluble wonder vitamin found in food and food supplements. Vitamin C is one of the stars of the micronutrient pantheon, as it plays a key role as an antioxidant, helps reduce the negative effects of free radicals, and boosts metabolism. It also facilitates iron absorption. Helps in the formation of strong teeth, bones, cartilage and gums. Any and all products that provide 50%* of the Daily Value are an excellent source of vitamin C, like our Oasis and Fairlee Nature’s Best line of juices.
