What does Vitamin C do?

Vitamin C is essential for tissue growth and repair, playing a vital role in collagen formation and strengthening capillary blood vessels. Vitamin C strengthens ligaments and tendons, prevents bruising and promotes wound healing. Vitamin C promotes healthy gums, enhances immune function and prevents scurvy. Vitamin C is the primary water soluble antioxidant vitamin within the human body, protecting the aqueous cytoplasm within the main body of the cell from damage by free radicals. Vitamin C acts synergistically with the major lipid soluble antioxidant vitamin E, which protects cell membranes from free radical damage. Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataract formation in the eye, and in aging.

How much Vitamin C should you take?

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA, USA National Research Council) for vitamin C (for men and women) is 60mg/day (120mg/day for smokers). This RDA for vitamin C has long been challenged as inadequate, and the optimum intake for vitamin C has been conservatively estimated to be at least 200mg/day. A vitamin C intake of less than 10mg/day results in scurvy, and an intake of less than 50 mg/day is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and cataracts.
