Vitamin C powder, frequently asked questions and what do you need to know?

20/7/2020

First of all, we would like to emphasize that we do not provide medical advice. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact a doctor. We have listed the questions we receive most about vitamin C via Facebook and email.

Strengthen your immune system and wield a GENERALLY HEALTHY LIFESTYLE: Eat healthy and exercise regularly!

Why use Vitamin C?

Because, especially if the body experiences stress, for example due to illness, the immune system uses and therefore needs extra vitamin C.

What is the difference between sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid?

Ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate are both better known as vitamin C. Sodium ascorbate is the sodium salt of ascorbic acid, so it tastes more like salt. Ascorbic acid, on the other hand, is acidic as the name suggests.

Why should I use pure Vitamin C?

If the virus is hopefully controlled in a month or two, then especially continue to use vitamin C. Vitamin C has so many positive effects, for example: on your connective tissue, blood vessels, skin, bones, tendons, brain, etc.

Tablets are helpful when taking, but in fact pure vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate) is best.

The disadvantage of powder is that it is more difficult to dose and does not taste good.

In addition, tablets contain many additives and flavors, which are completely unnecessary and not always healthy for you. Think for example of sugars and flavors.

Vitamin C has so many positive effects on your connective tissue, blood vessels, skin, bones, tendons, muscles, brain, hormones and we can continue for a while. Incidentally, it is not stored in your body. You can supplement it every day through your diet and in supplement form.

How much vitamin C should I take?

The amount of vitamin C depends on many factors. Do you use it as a daily maintenance dose or to fight disease? The severity of the disease also influences the amount to be taken. Each individual reacts differently to substances. Vitamin C is no exception.

Ascorbic acid has virtually no side effects at doses up to 1.5 g per day and is hardly toxic. At higher doses, nausea and diarrhea are possible.

What is the use of vitamin C for viral diseases? Obtain a sufficiently high vitamin C blood level as soon as possible and maintain this blood level throughout the entire disease period. Therefore:

  1. take vitamin C as soon as possible, at the first symptoms
  2. dosage in many grams, depending on the severity of the disease (1 gram = 1000 mg)
  3. throughout the entire disease period

A level teaspoon is about 1 gram. Note there are large and small teaspoons so just weigh it out the first time you use it.

Recommendation vitamin C on prevention for children

Tip: mix powder of ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate in something of food, for example yogurt, spread over the day in amounts per day:

  • during breastfeeding: 100 mg
  • during bottle feeding: 100 - 300 mg (from 0-1 year, max. 100 mg per month of age)
  • after breastfeeding: 100 - 300 mg (from 0-1 years, max. 100 mg per month of age)
  • 1 - 3 years old: 1000 mg
  • 4 - 8 years old: 1500 mg
  • 8 - 12 years old: 2000 mg

Can I over-dose / take too much vitamin C?

Too much of Vitamin C is passed out through stool. Reduce dosage if faeces are too loose.

Which variant vitamin C do I choose if I have an upset stomach?

In case of stomach upset as a result of swallowing ascorbic acid. Then take sodium ascorbate, also known as ascorbate for short. There are also other ascorbates, such as magnesium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate. You cannot use it for this purpose against virus diseases. Then you get too much calcium and magnesium. Sodium is not a problem in this regard.

Is your vitamin C powder NON-GMO?

All Natural Spices products are all NON-GMO or not genetically modified.
