■ The Importance of Vitamin C

1. A key antioxidant nutrient that protects cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

2. Facilitates the absorption of non-heme iron (plant-based iron) by converting it into the reduced form in the intestines, aiding in its binding to hemoglobin.

3. Plays a role in various enzyme reactions within the body and is involved in the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein found in connective tissues (skin, bones, blood vessels, cartilage).

■ Vitamin C Intake Status in Koreans

1. Vitamin C intake ratio has decreased compared to the previous year, with 57.6% of Koreans consuming less than the recommended dietary allowance for Vitamin C, one of the five essential nutrients that Koreans are deficient in (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2015).

2. Average Vitamin C intake among men aged 70 and older and women aged 60 and older falls short of 100 mg (National Health Insurance Service - Vitamin C).

3. Reasons for Vitamin C deficiency include environmental factors such as stress, pollution, irregular eating habits, and a diet dominated by instant and processed foods, as well as inadequate consumption of vegetables and fruits.

■ Reasons to Consume Vitamin C

1. Increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to external factors like UV radiation and environmental pollutants, along with a decrease in the body's ROS removal capacity, can disrupt the body's balance and lead to a deficiency in antioxidant nutrients like Vitamin C. Therefore, adequate intake of antioxidants like Vitamin C is crucial.

2. Smokers need to consume an additional 30 mg of Vitamin C compared to non-smokers (smoking one cigarette consumes approximately 30 mg of Vitamin C).

3. Pregnant women, in particular, should ensure they have an adequate intake of Vitamin C as it aids in iron absorption.

4. Vitamin C is not produced within the body and is not stored in large amounts, so it needs to be regularly supplemented through diet (fruits, vegetables) or dietary supplements in appropriate quantities.

1) A pure vitamin C powder product that contains 100% vitamin C without any other ingredients added for those who find it difficult to swallow capsules or tablets, providing an easy way to consume vitamin C by dissolving it in water.

   - Contains 3,000mg of vitamin C per sachet, recommended for daily consumption.

   - Made with premium British-sourced vitamin C manufactured based on DSM's strict quality standards.

2) Vitamin C Mega-Dose Therapy

   - There is no fixed dosage for mega-dose therapy as the required amount of vitamin C varies from person to person. It is important to determine the appropriate dosage for oneself.

   - The most commonly used method to find the optimal dosage is by checking the "bowel tolerance" level, typically starting with 3,000mg and gradually increasing to 6,000mg or 12,000mg.

     * "Bowel tolerance" is a concept proposed by Dr. Robert Cathcart in 1981. It is based on the idea of using the amount of vitamin C that commonly causes diarrhea, limiting the intake to 70-80% of that amount.

   - Caution: It is recommended to take it after meals to avoid an empty stomach. Since vitamin C is mildly acidic, taking it on an empty stomach may cause discomfort. Also, vitamin C is water-soluble and is eliminated from the body within 5-6 hours, so spacing out the doses can be helpful.
