📊 How it ranks (our editor score) — 69/100Tap to see the breakdown
🌱 What it is
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin found in citrus, peppers, and berries, also available as a supplement or topical spray.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Supports immune function and healing
- Helps strengthen blood vessel walls
- Needed for collagen and skin repair
- May ease minor allergic-type skin reactions
🥄 How to use it
Take orally as directed on the label; a diluted solution can be sprayed on minor burns or applied to support skin healing.
How much: 500-1000 mg daily is a common general-support amount; follow product label or reduce toward bowel tolerance.
Why it works: Supports immune defenses, strengthens blood vessel walls, is needed for collagen production, and has mild antihistamine activity.
⚠️ Cautions
- Very high doses can cause digestive upset or diarrhea — reduce the dose if this happens.
- People with kidney stone history should check with a doctor before high-dose use. Shingles and frostbite need prompt medical evaluation and treatment -- vitamin C may be a supportive measure alongside care but isn't a substitute for it.
