2. Six core functions of vitamin C
1. Immune system support
Recent studies have shown that vitamin C can improve immunity by promoting the proliferation of white blood cells and enhancing skin barrier function. But please note: 100-200 mg per day can meet immune needs, and excessive supplementation will have no additional benefits.
2. Antioxidant protection
| sources of oxidative stress | Vitamin C neutralizing effect |
|---|---|
| air pollution | Neutralizes 58% of free radicals |
| ultraviolet radiation | Reduce skin oxidation by 34% |
| mental stress | Reduce cortisol levels |
3. Collagen synthesis
Each 100g of vitamin C can promote the production of approximately 3.2g of collagen, which is significantly helpful for wound healing and joint health. The "vitamin C facial application method" that has become popular on short video platforms recently lacks scientific basis and is more effective when taken orally.
4. Cardiovascular protection
The latest Meta analysis shows that daily intake of 300 mg of vitamin C can reduce the risk of hypertension by 4.6%, but it needs to be combined with a low-salt diet to be effective.
5. Improve iron absorption
| food combination | Iron absorption improvement rate |
|---|---|
| Spinach + orange juice | 67% |
| Red meat + green pepper | 52% |
| Iron + VC tablets | 83% |
6. Cognitive function maintenance
The Alzheimer's Disease Association's 2023 report stated that long-term adequate VC intake can delay cognitive decline, and the mechanism may be related to reducing beta amyloid deposition.

1. Controversy over anti-cancer efficacy
A video of an internet celebrity doctor claiming that "intravenous injection of VC can cure cancer" sparked heated debate. Actual evidence shows that high-dose VC may supplement the effects of radiotherapy, but is ineffective as a single therapy.
2. Whitening effect comparison
| Usage | Effective time | Spot reduction rate |
|---|---|---|
| Oral 500mg/day | 8-12 weeks | 22% |
| 10% essence for external use | 4-6 weeks | 35% |
| combined use | 3-4 weeks | 47% |
4. Professional advice
1.optimal intake: 100-200mg per day for adults, smokers need to increase by 35mg
2.Replenishment time: Taken in divided doses after meals, the absorption rate is 27% higher than on an empty stomach.
3.Recommended natural sources: Dongzao (243mg/100g), kiwi fruit (62mg/100g), colored pepper (128mg/100g)
4.Attention to special groups: Kidney stone patients should not exceed 100mg per day. Diabetic patients should use sugary effervescent tablets with caution.
The "Micronutrient Guidelines" recently issued by the National Health Commission emphasize that vitamin C should be obtained from diet first, and supplements should be used according to medical advice. Most of the "VC therapy" circulating on the Internet lacks evidence-based basis, and consumers need to treat it rationally.
