Vitamin C also known as Ascorbic Acid is a water soluble vitamin and as a result any excess is excreted through urine. It is therefore recommended that a Vitamin C should be taken on a regular basis.
Vitamin C is essential for metabolic reactions in the body. Vitamin C is involved in the repair of cells and tissues, maintenance of collagen in the skin, bones and teeth. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant hence protects certain vitamins in the body against damage as well as protecting the body against infections.
Humans are unable to produce Vitamin C within the body hence a daily intake of this vitamin is required. To this date there is no set recommended daily intake of Vitamin C however a range of between 1000-1500mg would be sufficient.
