Benefits of vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to:

• The normal function of the immune system.
• The protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth.
• Normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Increased iron absorption.

These statements are authorized by European Union legislation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, thereby contributing to overall health.

Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose of vitamin C for adults in the EU is 80 mg. However, many people opt for higher doses, generally between 500 mg and 2,000 mg per day, to meet specific needs. As this is a pure powder, you should measure the dose accurately using a precision scale or a measuring spoon. It is recommended to start with a low dose (e.g., 250 mg) and gradually increase it according to your tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose without consulting a healthcare professional. Due to its acidity, it can be mixed with water, juice, or smoothies to improve the taste.

Types of vitamin C

There are different forms of vitamin C on the market. Ascorbic acid is the purest and most economical form, but it is acidic and can irritate the stomach of some people. Other forms such as sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate are less acidic and gentler on the stomach. Liposomal vitamin C is encapsulated in liposomes for potentially greater absorption. This product is pure ascorbic acid, ideal for those seeking maximum purity and willing to handle it in powder form.
