A Little More Vitamin C Please
As summer winds down and we head into fall, September is a great time to give a little extra attention to your immune system, your skin, and the everyday habits that help you feel your best.
Vitamin C may be best known for supporting normal immune function, but it also plays an essential role in collagen production—the protein that helps give our skin its structure, strength, and resilience. Because our bodies don’t make vitamin C on their own, we have to get it through food, skin care, or thoughtfully selected wellness support.
September Highlights
Vitamin C IV
This month, we’re highlighting our Vitamin C IV—a simple way to incorporate Vitamin C into your personalized wellness routine.
Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, supports normal immune function, and is required for the body’s natural production of collagen. Your AVIVA provider can help determine whether IV therapy is an appropriate option for your health history and goals.
Simple Ways to Get More Vitamin C
A few small choices can help you support your daily Vitamin C intake:
- Add berries or kiwi to breakfast.
- Snack on bell peppers with hummus.
- Include broccoli, tomatoes, or Brussels sprouts with dinner.
- Choose whole fruits and vegetables regularly rather than relying only on juice.
- Pair plant-based sources of iron with Vitamin C-rich foods to help your body absorb the iron more effectively.
Vitamin C for Your Skin
What you eat and what you apply to your skin each have a different role.
A quality topical Vitamin C serum can help provide antioxidant support and improve the appearance of brightness, uneven tone, and early signs of environmental damage. Apply it in the morning after cleansing, then follow with moisturizer and a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Not every Vitamin C formula is created—or tolerated—the same way. If you’re unsure which product belongs in your routine, ask us. We’ll help you select one based on your skin, current products, and goals.
Honoring World Sexual Health Day
September 4 is World Sexual Health Day, but we believe conversations about intimate and sexual wellness deserve a place in healthcare all year long.
Changes in comfort, sensation, vaginal dryness, or confidence are common—and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed to ask questions or explore your options.
