Vitamin C 500 Tablets

Some claim that vitamin C has the potential to prevent and treat the common cold, flus, and cancer. The medical establishment has voiced some concerns about these claims and the mega-dose requirements needed to achieve the hoped-for results. Vitamin C can be found in most citrus fruits. Collagen is also formed with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a cofactor.

Vitamin C deficiency is referred to as “scurvy” and has been present for thousands of years. Scurvy was first written about around 1500 B.C.  It was also described by Aristotle in 450 B.C. as a syndrome characterized by lack of energy, gum inflammation, tooth decay, and bleeding problems. In the 1700s, large numbers of sailors died from scurvy, until James Lind discovered that the juice of lemons could cure and also prevent this devastating and deadly disease. The ships then carried limes for the sailors to consume daily to maintain health, and thus these sailors became known as "limeys."

Vitamin C is absorbed from the intestines, ideally about 80–90% of what you ingest. Your body uses it in about two hours and then it is usually out of the blood stream within 3-4 hours. It is suggested that vitamin C supplements be taken at four-hour intervals rather than once a day for just this reason. Vitamin C is used up even more rapidly under stressful conditions, with alcohol use, and with those who smoke.
