What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that the body cannot produce on its own. It is an essential antioxidant that plays a central role in many bodily functions. It is found in numerous foods, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, as well as vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and spinach.
Why might a Vitamin C infusion be a better choice than consuming large amounts of Vitamin C-rich foods?
A Vitamin C infusion offers faster action and better bioavailability compared to consuming oranges or other Vitamin C-rich foods. Fast action means that the Vitamin C enters the bloodstream directly, making it available to the body more quickly. Better bioavailability means that a larger amount of the vitamin can actually be absorbed and used by the body.
To achieve the amount of Vitamin C present in a high-dose infusion (7500 mg), you would need to consume a very large quantity of these foods. A single orange contains only about 50 mg of Vitamin C on average, which means you would need to eat approximately 150 oranges to get the same amount of Vitamin C. This is not only impractical but also unlikely for the body to efficiently absorb such high amounts at once. An infusion, on the other hand, delivers this high dose directly and effectively.
Why is Vitamin C so important for your body?
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in supporting normal body functions and aims to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, which can result from environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation. It can strengthen the immune system, promote overall health, and support vitality. Particularly during the cold and flu season and in stressful times, adequate Vitamin C intake can be crucial for maintaining good health.
Additionally, Vitamin C contributes to many other important bodily processes: it can promote wound healing, support collagen formation for healthy skin, blood vessels, and bones, and improve the absorption of iron from plant-based foods.
