What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C has a critical role when it comes to overall health. Vitamin C has multiple benefits, including enhanced immunity, skin health, and cardiovascular system protection.
Read More About Vitamin C and How It WorksWhat does Vitamin C do?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that reduces the risk of chronic disease by scavenging unstable free radical molecules in the body and protecting cells from oxidative damage. It's also an essential cofactor in synthesizing collagen, the structural protein found abundantly in your skin, blood vessels, and other significant organs in the body.
What is Vitamin C good for?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many bodily functions, including the proper functioning of the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
How much Vitamin C should I take per day?
The recommended daily amount of Vitamin C varies by person. For some, 500 mg of Vitamin C is sufficient for daily use. However, people with compromised immune systems may opt for as much as 2,000 mg per day to enhance the production of immune cells.

Vitamin C Benefits
Research has shown several health benefits of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant that cannot be stored or synthesized in the human body. However, it plays a key role in overall health.
-
Boosts Immune System Defense:
According to a scientific study, Vitamin C is commonly recommended to help the body through cold and flu season. It has been shown to boost the production and function of immune cells thanks to its potent antioxidants. -
Enhances Iron Absorption:
Consuming Vitamin C also assists with dietary iron absorption. This boosts energy levels as iron transports oxygen to every cell in your body. -
Protects Cells From Free Radical Damage:
Harvard Health Publishing states that Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that reduces the risk of chronic disease by scavenging free radical molecules in the body. This prevents tissue damage brought on by illness and aging. -
Supports Skin Health:
Optimizing your levels of Vitamin C strengthens the skin to provide a healthy, youthful glow. It also aids wound healing by synthesizing collagen, the main structural protein in connective tissue. -
Prevents Oxidation of Cholesterol:
Vitamin C protects the cardiovascular system and promotes greater heart health. The synthesis of collagen also promotes healthier blood vessels.
Vitamin C Deficiency
How much Vitamin C do I need?
Vitamin C cannot be stored or synthesized in the body, so daily intake is necessary. The amount of Vitamin C a person need varies by individual.
- Kids: Vitamin C can be taken by children, though it should be taken in lower doses than adults, starting at around 15 mg.
- Adults: The recommended daily amount for adults is 75 mg to 90 mg daily.

Vitamin C Deficiency Symptoms
Vitamin C deficiency is not as common in the modern world as it was 100 years ago. However, a poor diet can lead to low Vitamin C levels and noticeable health effects.
- Bruising: Anemia, noticeable skin damage, and delayed wound healing are common signs of a lack of Vitamin C.
- Swollen Joints: Inflammation and tenderness of the bones have been linked to low Vitamin C levels.
- Weak Bones: Low intake of Vitamin C can lead to a higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This is because it plays a role in the formation of bones.

- Fatigue: Low levels of Vitamin C can cause you to feel tired and even cause a poor mood.

What To Look For in a Vitamin C Supplement
Not all Vitamin C supplements are made the same. Here are some essential factors to consider when choosing a Vitamin C supplement.
- Dosage: Most people should take between 500 to 2,000 mg of Vitamin C daily. Because it is a water-soluble nutrient that can't be stored, taking higher levels will not harm your body, and excess will be released in your urine. Learn more
- Type: Ascorbic acid is the most common form of Vitamin C that people take for beneficial effects. There are other mineral ascorbates available orally or as topicals. Learn more
- Pairs Well With: Vitamin C works best in combination with Vitamin E, ferulic Acid, Vitamin B, and many other nutrients that work to boost the immune system and aid body processes. Learn more
- Quality: Choose products that have third-party certifications for safety and quality, like the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) or NSF International to ensure you're getting the amount of Vitamin C on the label without any unwanted ingredients or additives. Learn more
- Manufacturing Process: Look for products from brands that adhere to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs). Learn more

The recommended Vitamin C daily intake for healthy women is 75 mg per day and 120 for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Most take 500 mg supplements, allowing any unabsorbed amounts to be released through urin.
How much is too much Vitamin C?
Your body needs Vitamin C, but megadoses can cause digestive problems. Most people take 500 mg per day, with the high end being 2,000 mg.
