Vitamin C has many important functions in the body. It is a crucial player in the production of collagen, which helps build blood vessels, tendons, and bone. It helps synthesize neurotransmitters that control mood, and carnitine which helps shuttle fat to the mitochondria inside cells to produce energy. As an antioxidant, it helps prevent the oxidation of key proteins, fats, and DNA inside the body. Vitamin C may also regenerate vitamin E inside the body. Studies have shown that vitamin C can block the damaging effects of nitrates found in cured or packaged meats. It has been postulated that Vitamin C may prevent intestinal absorption or increase urinary excretion of lead. While it is commonly believed that vitamin C can reduce the risk of the common cold, research of late has found this to be true only for endurance athletes. Since vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and not produced by the body, it is imperative that enough is consumed on a daily basis to support proper health. The current RDA for vitamin C is 90mg per day for male adults and 75mg for female adults. The Linus Pauling Institute recommends consuming at least 400mg daily-the amount found to fully saturate plasma and circulating cells with vitamin C in young, healthy nonsmokers.
