Vitamin C is perhaps the most well-known immune support nutrient in the world. But what does the research actually say about its role in respiratory wellness? 🔬
Immune Function Foundation 🛡️
Vitamin C supports multiple aspects of immune function. It contributes to the production and function of white blood cells, acts as an antioxidant protecting cells from oxidative stress, and supports the epithelial barriers that line your airways. 🧬
Respiratory Connection 🪷
The airways are lined with epithelial cells that serve as your first line of defense. Vitamin C supports the integrity and function of these barriers, which is why adequate intake is associated with respiratory wellness. 💨
Natural Sources 🥗
Citrus fruits, bell peppers, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, and tomatoes are all excellent sources. Lemon is particularly convenient — it can be added to water, tea, or taken as an extract. 🍋
