and plays a very important role in our everyday diet. Unlike most mammals, humans
are unable to naturally produce Vitamin C so we must obtain it in our diet. The role
that Vitamin C does take in our body is to synthesize collagen, which is an important
structural element of tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and bone. Vitamin C also is
significant because it helps to combine the constituent elements of the
neurotransmitter, norepinphrine. Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function.
Among other things it also is linked to help with blood cholesterol levels and the
frequency of gallstones. The word antioxidant goes hand in hand with Vitamin C.
Antioxidants are very important in protecting the body from harmful free radicals.

It is no mistake that Monavie chose the Camu Camu fruit which is such a great
source of Vitamin C. The recommended daily amount of Vitamin C is 60mg for men
and women. The insufficiency of Vitamin C in a daily diet has been known for many
years to cause the often fatal disease of scurvy. A deficiency of Vitamin C is even
linked to cardiovascular diseases. Vitamin C deficiency has also been attributed to,
stroke, cancer, cataracts, and even lead toxicity.
