How much Vitamin C is really necessary?

How many vitamins does our body need?

Many times we believe that taking additional vitamins is good without really considering the components, their doses, and the requirements that our body has. This is much more common with Vitamin C of all the vitamins and supplements on the market.

This has been dragged by many ancient customs that have not been re-analyzed by professionals, but technological advances tell us a lot about what our body uses and what kind of nutrients we really use.

For starters, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. That means when we give our body more vitamin C than it requires, it is simply discarded in the urine. In this process it passes through the kidneys and those like me who are susceptible to kidney stones are at greater risk of kidney stones.

Additionally, vitamin C is not generated by the body and is a requirement for the proper functioning of our body. Therefore it must be ingested. The best possible thing is to have a balanced diet, but there are supplements, like ours, that help us to have the correct doses.

In the following table we can learn a little more about the daily requirements of Vitamin C in the human body.

Table FDA Daily Dose Vitamin C

Thus we can see that the daily dose of Vitamin C is not 500mg or 1000mg, as is customary to see in supplements worldwide. Despite the fact that the maximum doses allowed can be up to 400% of the daily dose, this represents a great opportunity to maintain daily supplementation that can help us maintain better health control.

Our Vitamin C is 60mg, therefore it helps us to reach the daily requirements without having to pause the supplement due to the risk of vitamin deficiency or other secondary damage, such as gastritis or even kidney stones. With a daily vitamin C from Fitamin you can have a more appropriate amount for our body and still have the benefits that vitamin C gives us in the long term.
