Bluebonnet Super Earth Rainforest Animalz Vitamin C Chews, Orange, 90 Ct

If children grew up in the rainforest, they'd get most of the nutrients for proper growth and development from whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish. Nutrients that are often missing from today's diets. Bluebonnet Super Earth Rainforest Animalz Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids and Whole Food Fruits and Vegetables helps bridge this nutrient gap, providing vitamin C from calcium ascorbate (a buffered form) and essential super fruits and vegetables in two yummy animal-shaped chewables. EarthSweet is a nourishing blend of fruit juice concentrates (wild blueberry, cranberry, prune, cherry, strawberry, raspberry and bilberry fruits, grape seed, raspberry seed) and natural cane crystals. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble, essential nutrient. Human beings are actually one of the few mammals that are unable to synthesize vitamin C, making it one of the essential nutrients that must be obtained from the diet. Vitamin C is involved in many complex functional roles in the body, such as neurotransmitter, collagen, carnitine and tyrosine synthesis and catabolism. In addition to its many functional roles, vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant, either by scavenging or neutralizing oxygen or nitrogen free radicals, protecting healthy cells in the body and lungs. Dietary sources that are high in vitamin C include orange juice, strawberries, oranges, fortified cereals and most citrus fruits.
