Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal collagen formation for healthy skin and bones, and protection of cells from oxidative stress. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal nervous system function. These benefits are supported by EFSA-approved health claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own. It must come from your diet or supplements. As an essential nutrient, it plays a key role in several bodily processes, including immune defence, collagen synthesis for connective tissue, and neutralising free radicals. Adequate intake supports overall health and wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Dosage and Safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily intake (RNI) for vitamin C in the UK is 40 mg per day for adults, but many people choose higher doses for additional support. Taking up to 1,000 mg daily is generally safe and well-tolerated. Since it is water-soluble, any excess is excreted in urine. However, doses above 2,000 mg may cause digestive discomfort. Always consult your GP before starting a new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or take medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the dosage, form, and quality certifications.
