Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder 150g

Metabolics Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid in as a powder rather than a capsule

Vitamin C is easily absorbed from the intestines and used in the body in about 2 hours and out of the blood in 3-4 hours. For this reason, it may be better to take supplements of Vitamin C at 4-hour intervals instead of in one dose. Vitamin C is utilised during stress, if we smoke or take alcohol. Some antibiotics can increase the elimination of Vitamin C from the body. The safe upper limit of vitamin C is set at 2gm, above which people may experience digestive upsets.

Severe deficiency of Vitamin C is known as scurvy, well known to those sailors at sea for months in the 1700s with no availability of fresh fruit.
