Ascorbic acid or better known as vitamin C, is an essential nutrient for humans since, in the absence of vitamin C, we could suffer from tiredness, weakness and irritability. Its consumption during a cold provides multiple health benefits as it is an antioxidant and helps protect cells against damage caused by free radicals. Human beings cannot produce vitamin C and we cannot store it either, which is why it is important to include it in our consumption habits. To do this, today we have a recipe for a smoothie with a lot of vitamin C and other nutritional properties.
