The Power of Vitamin C for Stronger Bones

+ Why Your Bones Need It Every Day

Summary:

Why Your Bones Need Vitamin C Every Day

Unlike some vitamins, your body doesn’t store vitamin C, which means you need to replenish it daily. While a little vitamin C prevents scurvy, higher amounts are needed to support your bones, joints, and overall health.

1. Vitamin C Prevents Bone Breakdown
Vitamin C is best known for preventing scurvy, a disease that weakens connective tissues and leads to excessive bleeding. While scurvy is rare today, our bodies still need ample vitamin C for collagen production—the foundation of strong bones. Without enough vitamin C, bones become weak and prone to fractures.

2. A Powerful Antioxidant to Protect Bone Cells
Osteoporosis is largely caused by oxidative damage. Vitamin C is the most important water-soluble antioxidant in the body, shielding bone-building cells (osteoblasts) and collagen from harmful free radicals. Studies show that vitamin C helps stimulate osteoblasts while slowing down bone-breakdown cells, keeping bones healthier for longer.

3. Fights Inflammation That Harms Bones
Chronic inflammation speeds up bone loss, and the immune system can release cytokines—compounds that break down bone tissue. Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory, helping to quiet these harmful compounds and protect bone integrity.

4. A Critical Building Block for the Body
Vitamin C isn’t just a vitamin; it’s a key component in producing essential substances in the body. It helps make neurotransmitters, amino acids like carnitine, and even stress hormones. If your body is under physical or emotional stress, your adrenal glands rely on vitamin C to keep you balanced.

Why Food Alone May Is Not Enough

While citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens are great sources of vitamin C, it can be difficult to get enough through diet alone—especially as we age and our ability to absorb nutrients changes. That’s why supplementing is essential for ensuring your bones get the protection they need.

Our best - selling Alkalini-C Powder is a fully buffered, high-potency vitamin C supplement that’s easy on the stomach and rapidly absorbed. (Seriously, read the reviews!)

If you’re on the go often or travelling, our Akalini - C Tabsules offer a convenient alternative, though slightly less potent for daily use.
