Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant protection. Intense exercise increases oxidative stress, and vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals produced during training.

It also supports the formation and maintenance of connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Because vitamin C is not stored in large amounts, regular intake is important for continuous support of recovery and immune defense.
