What is the standard amount of vitamin C
should you have?
Every day, our bodies need providing with
13 nutrients called vitamins which include vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Human
body differs from most of other animals’ bodies as we can’t automatically
provide vitamin C. Lacking vitamin C can lead to large bruise in skin and
vulnerable immunity, but how about vitamin C excess?
What
is the standard amount of vitamin C should you have?
It must be used in right dose
Vitamin C is contained a lot in green
vegetables, such as broccoli, tomato, in juice like orange juice, lemonade
mandarin and pomelo juice… The main function of vitamin C is to help produce
collagen, a main protein of the body (affect skin), neurotransmitters and hormones
and help the body absorb and use other nutrition elements. Vitamin C is also an
essential antioxidants, a part form vitamin E, beta-carotene and Selen mineral.
It’s
important to use right dose of vitamin C.
Nowadays, vitamin C is sold as medicines and
functional foods. Many people who find that vitamin is a functional food think
it can be used arbitrarily. However, do not overuse vitamins or take vitamin
overdoses because it’s recommended for human to have 60mg vitamin C a day (an
amount of 1g vitamin is an overdose). Take a vitamin overdose (over 1g/day) can
lead to diarrhea, peptic ulcer (if you have vitamin C when the stomach’s
empty), oxalate kidney stones, digestive disorders and a decrease in
erythrocyte durability.
Notes about using effervescent vitamin C
A popular type of vitamin C is effervescent
vitamin C referred to effervescent tablets. That’s because when contacting with
water, they strongly effervesce, evaporate and turn water into liquid that’s
easy to drink. The popular effervescent vitamin C contains 1g (1,000mg) vitamin
C which is 16 times as much as the recommended. There’re a few cases that
people are too lack of vitamin need to use high doses of vitamin (called
treatment). It’s similar to vitamin C. Taking vitamin C overdoses to treat flu
still makes arguments while using over 1g of it a day tends to cause the side
effects above.
Using
vitamin C overdoses (over 1g a day) can cause diarrhea, peptic ulcers, oxalate
kidney stones, digestive disorders and a decrease in erythrocyte durability…
Also, people who have hypertension should
never use effervescent tablets, effervescent vitamin C in specification. That’s
because some people like ones having hypertension have to abstain salt. In
fact, abstaining salt is abstaining sodium (salt is sodium chloride) and sodium
chloride is contained in every kind of effervescent tablet, which aims to make
effervescence when citric acid meets water. If people who are taking
hypertension treatment have lots of salt or sodium, they will have a sudden increase
in blood pressure.
Do not have vitamin C injection for skin beauty
Women
who want to have smooth skin and healthy shape definitely have to have balanced
regimens.
Women who want to have smooth skin and
healthy shape definitely have to have balanced regimens, sensible relaxations
and exercises. There’s no way to have a beautiful skin if you aren’t provided
enough and equally with 5 nutrients: protein, carbohydrate, vitamin and
mineral. Especially, vitamins with their abilities to stimulate enzyme system,
metabolic processes and prevent aging by anti-oxidation processes are
considered to have biological roles in bringing a healthy smooth skin.
Nonetheless, lots of people don’t recognize
foods, especially vegetables and foods as rich, safe and natural sources of
vitamin and prefer using drugs. There’re people choose vitamin injections
instead of vitamin tablets or drugs. For example, many people use Laroscorbine
(a vitamin C injection) or preparations containing vitamin C and combine them
with other chemicals, such as glutathione, lipoic alpha acid (ALA), collagen
(Biome G Alpha or Aqua skin EGF-Whitening…) for the only reason which is to
have a beautiful and bright skin.
It’s
not safe using vitamin C injections.
There has been no scientific verification
about the combination of vein injections and injections with those preparations
having abilities to make the skin white and beautiful. As we carefully analyze
using normal forms of vitamin or the vein injection ones, it’s obvious that the
latters have more possibilities in bringing bad effects than good health. We
should take notice of the fact that non-sterile injections can lead to
infections, such as abscess, HIV, hepatitis B, C infections… Particularly,
taking injections can easily cause systemic reactions (anaphylactic shock) at
skin areas that are not tolerant to the injections. You should be careful when
injecting vitamin C, ALA, glutathione, collagen, especially inject to vein; it
can cause anaphylactic shock that leads to death.
