Recommended daily amount of vitamin C
The recommended dosage is 90mg for men, 75mg for women, 85mg for pregnant women, and 120mg for middle-aged people.
What are the benefits of vitamin C?
It boosts immunity, lowers the incidence of infectious diseases, and helps prevent anemia by increasing iron absorption. In addition, it has skin health, anti-aging and antioxidant effects.
What are the symptoms of vitamin C overdose?
Overdose may cause diarrhea
Overdosing on vitamin C can cause diarrhea and cause side effects such as indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, hypoglycemia, heartburn, and vomiting.
Illness from overdose?
Excessive intake of vitamin C can cause diseases such as gastritis and reflux esophagitis due to damage to the digestive tract mucosa. There is a risk of developing urinary stones, so be careful.
What if you lack vitamin C?
Abnormalities may also occur if there is a lack of vitamin C. Because scurvy, hemorrhage under the skin, and weight loss can occur, it is recommended to consume within the recommended daily amount.
