HOW MUCH VITAMIN C DOES OUR BODY NEED?
Vitamin C is one of the most popular vitamins. The nutrient receives a special effect for its immune-boosting potential. But promoting vitamin C’s ability to shorten the common cold only scratches the surface of its function in the body.
This antioxidant is not produced naturally by the body, so it is crucial to obtain it from foods rich in vitamin C or through natural supplements.
Adult women need 75 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C per day, and adult men need 90 mg.
