Vitamin C intake from fruits and vegetables alone may not be enough.

     Because vitamin C is a vitamin that degrades easily when exposed to air, heat or humidity. Therefore, we should choose to eat fruits and vegetables that are fresh, the more freshly picked from the plant, the better. Eating fresh fruit, such as one orange freshly picked from the plant, contains about 20-40 milligrams of vitamin C. If we want the body to get adequate amount of vitamin C, we need to eat 2-3 oranges freshly picked per day. But in fact, we may not be able to do that. Therefore, the amount of vitamin C that the body receives each day is not enough to meet the needs of the body.

Studies have shown that in normal people, taking vitamin C daily for a long period of time can be as high as 3,000 milligrams without any harm.

       Those who take vitamin C to enhance the function of white blood cells and strengthen immunity, take 1,000-3,000 mg per day.

       People with colds, allergies, and debilitating conditions should receive 1,000-2000 mg per day.

        People in the midst of toxic pollution and stress should get 1,000 mg a day.

        Those who want to take care and maintain health should receive 1,000 mg per day.

Vitamin C... When is the best time to take it?

         Because vitamin C is acidic. Although some brands have reduced the acidity by adding vitamin C in the form of salt. Experts therefore recommend taking vitamin C after meal as it may cause stomach irritation, especially those with a history of gastritis, acid reflux or digestive disorders.      

     Therefore, people suffering from gastritis or acid reflux are recommended to take vitamin C in the form of 100% salt, such as in the form of calcium ascorbate. Since this form of vitamin C does not have any residual acidity, it does not irritate the stomach. To read more about vitamin C for gastritis, click here.
