Vitamin C - Are you getting enough?

About Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential part of everyone’s health. Our body requires the constant presence of vitamin C to help with a variety of key functions including: · Immune support – keeps your white blood cells strong and active · Antioxidant – helps neutralise harmful oxidation in the body
· Enzyme function – helping scar tissue to heal, cartilage renewal
· Collagen synthesis – essential for healthy skin
If you smoke, eat fast foods or are under regular stress in your life (show me someone who isn’t!) then it makes good sense to take vitamin C on a daily basis. It is virtually impossible to ‘overdose’ on vitamin C. The body takes what it needs and passes the excess out through the urine. However, when deciding how much vitamin C to take do not follow the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) as set by the government health agencies! The RDA for most nutrients, vitamin C in particular, is so ridiculously low that it seems like a joke.
Did you know that the RDA amounts are based upon the minimum amount of a nutrient necessary to prevent a deficiency disease from occurring in the population! Yes, that means that what you are recommended to take each day is in fact just enough to prevent a deficiency disease, such as scurvy, from occurring in your body! Enough nutrients to prevent serious disease is not the goal here folks, we are in need of an ABUNDANCE of nutrients so that all of our system has plenty to use whenever it needs them.

US and UK RDA for vitamin C is between 60-95mg per day. Yet pioneers in the field recommend around 4,000mg per day for healthy functioning, and HIGHER amounts when under extreme stress or illness. That’s over 40 times more vitamin C each day that government health agencies are recommending you to take!
