More information on Vit C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet.

 

Side effects

Serious side effects from too much vitamin C are very rare, because the body cannot store the vitamin

Too little vitamin C can lead to signs and symptoms of deficiency, including:

Decreased ability to fight infection, decreased wound healing rate, anemia, bleeding gums, weakened tooth enamel, easy bruising, dry splitting hair, swollen & painful joints, slowed metabolism/weight gain & rough dry scaly skin
