🧬 April 4 – Vitamin C Day

👨‍⚕️Vitamin C is one of the key nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It plays a role in the immune response, collagen synthesis, tissue healing, and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

🌍The discovery of vitamin C is associated with Albert Szent-Györgyi, who proved its role in preventing scurvy and received the Nobel Prize for this work.

🔬Today, scientific research confirms the importance of adequate vitamin C intake for supporting:

✅ the immune system,

✅ vascular and skin health,

✅ the body’s recovery processes.

🥗 The best sources of vitamin C are fresh fruits and vegetables—particularly citrus fruits, berries, peppers, and leafy greens.

👨‍⚕️The National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine emphasizes: a balanced diet and preventive care remain the foundation of good health.

✍️ Stay healthy!

Sincerely,
Press Service of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine
