Vitamin C powder is a wonderful supplemental addition to the diet, having a wide range of health benefits. Derived from Ascorbic acid, this water soluble vitamin is important in many bodily functions but its main use is as a preventative measure in the degradation of
LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) from causing irreversible heart damage.
The Ascorbic acid found in Vitamin C powder is necessary in the maintenance and growth of cells in the human body. Without it, your cells could not repair themselves. It assists with cell and nerve growth, with the maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth, blood vessels and ligaments and with wound healing and the formation of scar tissue.
A lack of this important protein in the diet can lead to all sorts of health issues and problems, including bleeding gums, gingivitis, rough, dry skin, slow rate of healing, painful and swollen joints, a tendency to bruise more easily, a penchant for nosebleeds and weakened tooth enamel. All the more reason to make the addition of vitamin C powder to your daily diet a regular one.
Vitamin C powder contains
anti-oxidants which are useful in the fight against
free radicals. These are by-products of our body's conversion process of food to energy. Anti-oxidants can protect against
heart disease, the crippling effects of arthritis and even cancer. Anti-oxidants can dramatically reduce the negative effects of pollutants found in our air, water and food, as well as toxic chemical and cigarette smoke.
There are a variety of available options to consider when purchasing your vitamin C powder. Thanks to the convenience of modern society the consumer can choose from a wide range of products, some odorless and flavorless and some with additional nutrients, including calcium and magnesium. The addition of
bicarbonate of soda makes for a fun and fizzy drink. An intake of 60 milligrams of Vitamin C is recommended for adults, an additional 35 milligrams to guard against free radicals for smokers.
How much vitamin C do you get per day? Where do you get it from?

A lot.
Like 500% of the daily value everyday.
I love fruit and fruit juices.
I take a vitamin C chewable every single day because it helps the absorption iron as well, which wasn't mentioned in this post. I also eat melon and pineapple a lot during the summer and oranges, grapefruit during the winter. I love fruit.
1,000 milligrams. I drink a packet of Emergan-C. And when I'm sick my doc tells me to have 4 -6 a day. The pink lemonade flavor is my favorite.
alot. i love vitamin C enriched juuice boxes :D
Very little unless i'm sick or eat an orange.
an apple, an orange, and a banana every day... sometimes cantaloupe, sometimes watermelon, sometimes strawberries, sometimes blueberries, and sometime pineapple... all depends on what's in the fridge... and to top that off, i consume two cups of oj simpson... who's guilty now? *raises hand and shouts* me me me...
oh right, can't forget them greens...
I suppose I could probably take more. Since Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin it is extremely rare to overdose on it, so there's nothing to lose by taking a small amount of supplements.
