Vitamin C

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is a vital nutrient in the body. In the body, it is used as ascorbate, which is essential to a vast number of important metabolic processes, including those involved with collagen formation and protecting the body from oxidative stress.

Humans, along with guinea pigs and bats, are unable to produce vitamin C in their bodies, and so must attain it from their diet. Due to the large number of essential processes it carries out, it is important to receive sufficient levels of this nutrient.

It is known that this vitamin is used in times of stress to the body, and it is also a powerful anti-oxidant. A deficiency of this vitamin results in scurvy. You might consider using vitamin C when people around you have got colds or when you know you have been on-the-go for a prolonged period of time.

Because it is water-soluble, the body is unable to store vitamin C for long. Therefore we need a constant supply, at a higher doese than the fat-soluble vitamins A D E and K. Although RDAs vary from source to source, some people prefer to have a high dose to ensure the maximum potential benefit.

Vitamin C is used up quickly during illness and is also lost rapidly during food preparation and cooking. Vitamin C deficiency causes bruising, bleeding, skin and hair loss. These are all symptoms of a deficiency-induced potentially fatal skin disease called scurvy. The symptoms are all related to diminished levels of collagen in bones, blood vessels and connective tissue. Inhabitants of developing countries and people on very restricted diets are more likely to suffer from a vitamin C deficiency. People may wish to supplement with Vitamin C if they have poor wound healing, a poor immune system, have infections, bleeding gums, heart disease or smoke. The Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin C is 60mg, however the Upper Safe Level is 2000mg daily.
