Vitamin C effervescent tablets have certain effects of supplementing vitamin C, improving immunity, and preventing and treating scurvy. In addition to obtaining vitamin C from daily food intake, many people also like to dissolve these vitamin C effervescent tablets in water. So, when is the best time to take vitamin C effervescent tablets?
What is the daily intake of vitamin C for the human body?
In China, the recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults is 100 milligrams. The highest tolerable intake of vitamin C for the human body is 2000 to 3000 milligrams. Therefore, when supplementing vitamin C, remember not to exceed 2000 milligrams per person per day to avoid adverse reactions. The vitamin C effervescent tablets available on the market are mostly around 1 to 2 grams, so be sure to pay attention to the dosage when dissolving the effervescent tablets.
The best time to take vitamin C effervescent tablets is one hour after a meal.
It is best to take vitamin C effervescent tablets one hour after a meal, as this is more conducive to the absorption of vitamin C in the effervescent tablets. Vitamin C effervescent tablets contain citric acid and other acidic substances, so it is not advisable to take them on an empty stomach to avoid irritating the stomach.
Vitamin C effervescent tablets should not be taken every day.
Although vitamin C effervescent tablets have the effect of supplementing vitamin C and improving immunity, they should not be taken every day. If taken for a long time and then discontinued, there may be symptoms such as gum bleeding and subcutaneous bruising. It is recommended to take one tablet at a time and only consume them every 3 to 5 days.
The continuous use of vitamin C effervescent tablets should not exceed 5 days.
Sometimes, when experiencing gum bleeding or mild cold symptoms, people may dissolve vitamin C effervescent tablets to relieve and treat them. However, the continuous use of vitamin C effervescent tablets should not exceed 5 days to avoid dependence. Once discontinued, symptoms of scurvy and other vitamin C deficiency may occur.
Vitamin C effervescent tablets should not be left for too long.
It is best to drink vitamin C effervescent tablets immediately after dissolving them in water to better absorb the vitamin C content. Some people may dissolve a large glass at once and drink it throughout the morning. However, vitamin C will lose a lot of nutrients when exposed to air for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to drink the effervescent tablets immediately after dissolving them.
