VITAMIN C FACTS
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a crystalline, water-soluble substance which acts as an anti-oxidant. Dr. Michael Roizen, author of The RealAge Diet: Make Yourself Younger With What You Eat, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, author of The Perricone Prescription and Dr. James Balch & Phyllis Balch, C.N.C, authors of Prescription for Nutritional Healing list the following benefits of vitamin C in their books:
The top food sources of vitamin C are:
Dr. Roizen suggests vitamin C should be taken in 1,200 mg. daily in 2-3 divided doses for an average adult, with smokers and those drinking alcohol or taking certain medications needing more. Dr. Roizen suggests vitamin C therapy of up to 4,000 mg (with 1 additional glass of water/1,000 mg of C) daily to decrease severity & duration of cold symptoms. Vitamins C & E are said to work synergistically, having a greater effect when taken together. Dr. Perricone suggests 3,000 to 5,000 mg/day of vitamin C for an average 50 year old patient. Dr. Perricone also recommends 500 mg/day of vitamin C ester, the buffered/fat soluble form of the vitamin which is said to enter the cells more easily. In his book, The Wrinkle Cure, Dr. Perricone also recommends the application of topical vitamin C (plus DMAE & Alpha Lipoic Acid) in the form of skin creams or topical lotions to keep skin smooth and firm. For more information on the specific recommendations for supplements in the bestselling book The Perricone Prescription, click on Dr. Perricone's Vitamin/Supplement Recommendations. High doses of vitamin C can lead to gastrointestinal problems and imbalances. Doctors and nutritionists often suggest a gradual increase of dosage, stopping before diarrhea occurs. A vitamin C overdose unlikely as excess amounts of vitamin C are excreted through the urine.
