Vitamin C + Antioxidants
Just as Vitamin C gives collagen and sunscreen a boost, the antioxidants Ferulic Acid and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) give Vitamin C a leg up as well by making it more stable and efficient. Pairing it with hydrating ingredients such asHyaluronic Acid will also help prolong its shelf life.
Is there a certain amount I should be taking to reap all the benefits?
So glad you asked. The ceiling for intake is around 2,000mg (milligrams). The United States Recommended Dietary Allowance is 90 milligrams per day; however, 500mg has been deemed safe.
Can I get too much?
Oralvitamin C supplements are safe to take. Side effects tend to be dose-related. Taking MEGADOSES of Vitamin C, which can be more than 2,000mg, may cause:
Nausea
Vomiting
Heartburn
Inflammation
The bottom line is,vitamin C (1Body has an excellent supplement I've been using for some time) is one of the most nourishing, effective, and powerful nutrients. It may not be the cure for your cold. Still, its benefits include protection againstimmune system deficiencies,cardiovascular disease,prenatal health problems, and evenskin wrinkling, enhancing theanti-aging process. Sticking to a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables and incorporating supplements, getting your daily dose of vitamin C is important to keep your immune system in top shape and your skin shining bright like a diamond!
