What is Vitamin C

What is Vitamin C

1. Origin

Vitamin C (VC) is mainly extracted from fresh fruits containing rich VC, such as acerola cherry, hawthorn and so on. Vitamin C in stale fruits will oxide and decompose automatically. Therefore, stale fruits cannot supplement us enough VC. Also, there is a saying going as: fruits change their color in one day, become fragrant in two days and all goes away in three days. This is actually the result of fruit nutrient oxidation and decomposition. It can also explain why people still lack Vitamin C even though they eat fruits everyday. For one thing, they can only absorb Vitamin C in small amount by eating fruits. The amount of VC in a VC tablet is equivalent to that in tens of oranges. For another thing, fruits’ effective nutrient can oxide and decompose after fruits are stored for a long time.

2. Dissolution

Vitamin C is soluble in water. Therefore, extra VC can be excreted. VC will not be stored in body and should be supplemented everyday.
