Vitamin C in the animal kingdom

Most people think that there is no vitamin C at all in meat and fish. This is completely wrong. Even if we were to forget everything we talked about in this article, about why we don't need as much vitamin C as we think, you can easily get plenty of this vitamin with ordinary foods from the animal kingdom.

This food is also extremely rich in other vitamins and minerals, and contains nothing unhealthy – such as large amounts of sugar and additives, which you will find in orange juice. Just remember not to heat the food too much, as this will destroy the vitamin C, whether the food is from the animal or plant kingdom.

So here is a list of foods that can help you reach your "daily requirement" if you still want to stay within the modern recommendations. The percentage here is the percentage of meeting the "target" 100 grams of food would give you on an ordinary modern diet.

Remember you need significantly less when you don't eat factory food, and if you're confused by this statement, you can read on. HERE about vitamin C.
