Effects of vitamin C

Vitamin C is a substance that enhances the body's resistance, fights bacteria that cause inflammation, helps wounds heal quickly.

In the field of facial and beauty care, Vitamin C plays a great role to remove dark spots caused by acne, helping you have a glossy, smooth skin.

Sources of vitamin C

Many people believe that Vitamin C is most abundant in oranges and lemons. But in fact, Hanoi plum is the fruit that provides the most Vitamin C, followed by aceria.

Specifically, in 100g of Hanoi plums there are up to 5000mg of vitamin C, 100g of cherry has 1600mg of vitamin C. While 100g of lemon has only 80mg of vitamin C and 100g of orange has 70mg of vitamin C.

In addition, you can also take supplements of effervescent vitamin C tablets to provide vitamin C to the body.

How to use vitamin C properly

It is not natural that doctors recommend using orange or lemon juice to provide vitamin C instead of Hanoi plums or aceria.

That's because for facial care and health, our bodies only need a small intake of 100mg of vitamin C per day. If you use foods that provide more vitamin C, the body will eliminate excess vitamin C.

Therefore, orange and lemon are the two fruits that provide the most adequate amount of vitamin C.

In addition, vitamin C is often very easily broken down by light, temperature and easily oxidized. Ideally, keep fruits containing vitamin C in vacuum bags, refrigerate, and wrap in dark wrappers or bags to keep out of light.

With foods that need to be processed such as broccoli and Dalat peppers, you should only steam or eat raw, do not stir-fry and cook for a long time to avoid vitamin C evaporation.

When using effervescent C, you need to pay more attention because in effervescent C contains a much larger amount of vitamin C than what your body needs.

Overloaded, the body will excrete vitamin C through the kidneys, then, excess vitamin C attached to the kidneys will form kidney stones that harm the body.

And every hour, your body is only capable of absorbing 100-200mg of vitamin C. Therefore, it is best to break the effervescent C tablet in half into 2 uses in the morning and noon.

If you are using more than 100mg of vitamin C per day, quickly change this habit. Although vitamin C supports facial skin care and very good health, we should also use it in moderation.

This is the most effective and optimal way to use vitamin C that Linh Dan Spa's nutritionist would like to introduce to you.

Hopefully, after reading this article, you will be able to adjust your diet, providing vitamin C to your body in a more reasonable way.
