Vitamin -C also known as ascorbic acid. A big step for the immune system.Ever wonder how some people just seem to know about the right vitamins to take and how much.Well, I was feeling pretty run down one time when my children were little and I was telling a good friend at church. She told me take a vitamin c tablet and a b-1 and you will feel so much better.Now that I study vitamins a lot, I understand why.The vitamin c helps to prtect your immune system and the b-1 gives you energy. What great advice,and it worked too, so when I would have a rough day I would just take those 2 vitamins and feel like my old self again real soon.When you have children,and they are little,you need lots of energy.
