Organically grown produce, (which avoids the use of pesticides and other chemicals) is more resistant to microbial and pest damage through the naturally occurring unique plant compounds. The use of carefully selected partner plants in organic growing can also help to repel pests. These two attributes enhance the nutritional quality of organic produce.

If you are considering organic supplements, make sure you look for the Soil Association logo on the label. The Soil Association is the gold standard in organic certification.

The Benefits of Vitamin C

Fundamental to a variety of functions in the body, vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that has been shown to act as a natural antihistamine. Therefore, vitamin C supplementation may promote allergy relief and reduction of symptoms. Vitamin C may also suppress inflammation caused by allergic reactions, by increasing the function of immune cells. In a study conducted in South Korea, high vitamin C intake was associated with a reduced risk of hay fever symptoms in schoolchildren(1).
