Summary The RDA for Vitamin C ranges from 15–75 mg for children, 75
Fights cell damage and disease Vitamin C is an antioxidant, a natural chemical found in certain foods
Vitamin C supports the immune system and other aspects of
Understanding the test results of the Vitamin C Test
Interpretive Data: Vitamin C concentrations lower than 11 μmol/L indicate
Reference Interval: Serum: 30-80 µmol/L (may vary by laboratory)
6 - 2 mg/dl irrespective of age and Vitamin C levels are normally between 0
Vitamin C deficiency occurs when blood vitamin C concentration drops below 0
Introduction
Sample may require special preparation - contact the laboratory
At doses above 200 mg, however, vitamin C is only partially absorbed and rapidly meta-bolized by the body
Vitamin C (with dilution) Because vitamin D increases calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, vitamin D toxicity results in marked hypercalcemia (total calcium greater than 11
Connection with many diseases and its systemic deficiency has been emphasized
In pregnant women, an additional 5–10 mg is recommended (25 mg in lactating mothers) [3,4,5,6]
If we measure vitamin D levels in those living traditional lives in the cradle of humanity, a normal vitamin D level would be over 100 nmol/L (40 ng/ml)
A similar difficulty in repleting low vitamin C levels was found in critically injured or infected patients, even with intravenous infusions of approximtaely 1000 mg of vitamin C a day
These values may change depending on your age
Vitamin C group had significantly reduced serum C-reactive protein levels at day 1, 3 mg/mL of vitamin C led to better restoration of anteroposterior knee stability at 6 weeks compared with control group, 3 and 10 mg/mL of vitamin C significantly reduced graft deterioration at 6 weeks, and no significant difference between groups at 42 weeks The mean vitamin C level of the German cohort was 7
Furthermore, normal daily requirements of vitamin C are increased in extraordinary circumstances and severe
For adults, the tolerable upper intake level (UL) — the highest daily intake likely to pose no risks — is 2,000 mg per day
In another study it was observed that vitamin C level was significantly low in plasma and urine of schizophrenics as compared to normal controls
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and Conditioned scurvy, or scurvy with normal vitamin C levels, was hypothesized to occur due to hypermetabolism of vitamin C after cessation of supratherapeutic doses or Taylor CA, Johnston CS
