The Water-soluble (C and the B complex)

Vitamin C

Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid is also a strong antioxidant that pushes off infections. Furthermore, it is important for iron absorption in the GIT.

Sources:

  • Citrus fruits.
  • Strawberries.
  • Kiwi.
  • Broccoli.
  • Tomatoes.

Vitamin B Complex

  • Poultry and meat.
