So What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that keeps the body functioning.

Benefits

Found in foods and dietary supplements, it aids in many biological functions, including the synthesis of collagen, the healing of wounds, and the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, meaning that it can neutralize free radicals that damage cells at the genetic level.

Can I get Vitamin C in Foods?

Yes you can.

Vitamin C is found in a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.

Good sources include:

• citrus fruit, such as oranges and orange juice
• peppers
• strawberries
• blackcurrants
• broccoli
• brussels sprouts
• potatoes

However it is unlikely to be sufficient and supplements act as the perfect top ups.  

What happens if I take too much? 

Taking large amounts (more than 1,000mg per day) of vitamin C can cause:

• stomach pain
• diarrhoea
• flatulence
