Perfect for maintaining, promoting, and protecting health

The vitamin C has various functions and benefits, but each of them are rather gentle than powerful. Therefore, except for scurvy, vitamin C is no silver bullet to cure any disease.

Although vitamin C’s effectiveness is mild, it has a variety of functions and benefits as many as 40. Its excellent characteristics are demonstrated when used in maintaining and improving health, and preventing diseases. We deal with a countless variety of illnesses. WHO (World Health Organization) has subdivided the diseases to more than 60,000. We do not know when we will get sick. Preventing sickness means avoiding an unspecified large number of illnesses as well.
Vitamin C has 40 functions and benefits that can help prevent a number of diseases. Depending on how you would count, it is said to have involved in the prevention of around 100 to 200 diseases. Even if you are only taking it to prevent colds, it actually can prevent cancer, heart disease, stroke, and many other diseases too ― hitting 40 birds with a stone. Although vitamin C has only a gentle action, it is sufficient to prevent diseases.

Vitamin C is perfect for the purpose of maintaining, promoting, and protecting health. Just because one is healthy, it does not mean that it is unnecessary. Healthy people take it to become even healthier.

It should be noted that when one stop from taking it, one cannot sustain good health. It is necessary to keep the vitamin C concentration in the body to promote health and continue until one lives out his or her natural life.

What happens inside the body?

What happens inside the body when vitamin C is consumed orally? Vitamin C is primarily absorbed throughout the small intestine. Its absorption rate depends on the amount of vitamin C taken. It will also change depending on how sated the person is. When taken immediately after meal (state of being sated), 80-90% of 100mg will be absorbed. However, absorption rate is reduced to 45-60% when taking 1000 – 2000 mg. When hungry, it further decreases to 20-50%.

Looking at the absorption rate, the effective way of taking vitamin C is by taking it three times a day, right after every meal. Absorbed throughout the small intestine, it goes to the liver through a vein called the portal vein. Through the bloodstream, it is distributed to blood cells and to the different body systems where it will be stored. Comparing your body to a dam will be helpful to understand the amount of storage of your body. People who are taking a lot of vitamin C are the dams filled with water. On the other hand, people who are only taking small amount of vitamin C from dietary sources are dams that are one-third filled. The benefits of vitamin C on the one-third filled dam are few, but benefits gradually increases as the water level rises, and all the benefits are maximized when it is full with water.

In order to maximize the benefits of vitamin C, taking a large amount of it is an ideal way.
