Solaray and KAL Vitamin C, Capsules, Tablets, And Powder!
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that is easily excreted from the body (with in hours) when not needed. It's so critical to all living creatures that almost all mammals can use their own cells to make it accept a few such as humans, gorillas, chimps, bats, guinea pigs and birds are some of the few animals that cannot manufacture vitamin C inside of their own bodies. This is why supplementation is so essential.
Humans vary greatly in their vitamin C requirement large demand generally come when one is under great amounts of stress. It's natural for one person to need ten times more vitamin C than another person; and a person's age and health status can dramatically change his/her need for vitamin C. The amount of vitamin C found in food varies as dramatically as well.
By supplementing with a good vitamin C supplement between 500mgs and 1000mgs can provide the body with the needed C to function properly. It is hard to overdose on vitamin C because the body eliminates it with in hours of administration orally but it is recommended that one take at least 500mgs daily for good health.
