Vitamin C      is crucial for children's good health and development. Read on to find out how much vitamin C your child needs, which sources are the best, and how to avoid getting too little or too much.

Why vitamin C is important 

Vitamin C helps form and repair red blood cells, bones, and tissues. It helps your child's gums stay healthy and strengthens your child's blood vessels, minimizing bruising from falls and scrapes. In addition, vitamin C helps cuts and wounds heal, boosts the immune system, and keeps infections at bay. And it helps the body absorb iron from food sources.
