2. how does a vitamin C deficiency manifest itself?

A vitamin C deficiency is defined as a deficit of the recommended daily amount of approx. 90-100 mg. A one-sided and unbalanced diet can cause a vitamin C deficiency. In this case, the human organism mainly lacks the important vitamins and minerals. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, smoking and heavy alcoholism have an influence on the vitamin C supply. The need for vitamin C can also be increased by taking certain medications. A vitamin C deficiency can be recognised by various symptoms. Initially, symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and muscle pain develop. This is often followed by bleeding, inflamed gums and delayed wound healing.

3. how much vitamin C should one take in daily?

The German Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of about 95 mg of vitamin C for women and about 110 mg of vitamin C for men. This recommended amount corresponds to about 200 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice or 100 g of fresh Brussels sprouts. Dosage and daily requirement may vary in certain life situations such as pregnancy, heavy physical strain or high alcohol consumption. Height, weight and gender play an important role in calculating requirements.

4. vitamin C in the form of food supplements

If you want to increase a vitamin C level that is too low with a food supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Vitamin C capsules are particularly suitable for increasing the vitamin C value. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. The preparation should also not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.

5. conclusion: radiant skin through vitamin C

Many skin creams and ointments contain vitamin C. The reason for this is that vitamin C has a positive effect on the skin in many areas. It protects the skin from free radicals, can reduce blemishes and ensures good collagen production. Vitamin C can be absorbed through a healthy and balanced diet.
