FAQ´s
The most important questions and answers about vitamin C
What different forms of vitamin C are there?
- Ascorbic acid: It is the most commonly used form of vitamin C. It is a synthetically produced form that is used in many dietary supplements.
- Natural vitamin C: It is obtained from natural sources such as citrus fruits, peppers, broccoli and other fruits and vegetables. It often also contains other nutrients and antioxidants.
- Calcium ascorbate: It is a form that contains calcium.
- Magnesium ascorbate: It is a form that contains magnesium.
- Sodium ascorbate: It is a form that contains sodium.
- Liposomal Vitamin C: Liposomal vitamin C is a form of vitamin C that is packaged in liposomes. Liposomes are small spheres of fat that are able to envelop and protect active ingredients. Packaging in liposomes is intended to increase bioavailability and absorption in the body.
Liposomal vitamin C is produced by enclosing the vitamin C in liposomes, which consist of phospholipids, which are a natural component of cell membranes. This process is intended to better protect the vitamin C and allow it to be transported into the cells more quickly and effectively.
There are some studies((https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08982104.2020.1820521?journalCode=ilpr20)) that show that liposomal vitamin C has a higher bioavailability than conventional vitamin C forms. Some studies have shown that liposomal vitamin C can increase vitamin C concentrations in the blood faster and in higher concentrations than conventional vitamin C forms. - Ester-C: Ester-C is a form of vitamin C that is made from calcium ascorbate and is claimed to stay in the body longer than conventional ascorbic acid. It is often used in dietary supplements to ensure a longer-term absorption of vitamin C and to increase bioavailability.
Ester-C is produced by combining ascorbic acid with calcium and through a special process of fermentation and neutralization. It also contains a form of calcium, called calcium L-threonate, which is particularly well absorbed by the body and stays in the body longer than normal calcium ascorbate.
Some studies((https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27512620/)) have shown that Ester-C actually stays in the body longer than conventional ascorbic acid, and this can help keep vitamin C levels in the blood stable for longer. Other studies have shown that Ester-C has a higher bioavailability than conventional ascorbic acid.
What causes can a vitamin C deficiency have?
A vitamin C deficiency can be caused by an insufficient intake of vitamin C from food or an increased need of the body. Possible reasons for an insufficient intake of vitamin C can be an unbalanced diet, alcohol abuse or certain medical conditions that impair the absorption of vitamins.
An increased need for vitamin C can be caused by stress, smoking, infections, competitive sports, injuries and certain chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, gastritis, diabetes). Some medical conditions, such as chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, can also increase the body’s need for vitamin C.
Vitamin C deficiency can also be caused by certain medications such as aspirin, the pill or barbiturates, which can impair the absorption and utilization of vitamin C.
What symptoms can a vitamin C deficiency cause?
A vitamin C deficiency can lead to various symptoms, such as:
- Fatigue and weakness
Decreased immunity, frequent occurrence of infections - Poor wound healing
- Anemia
- Bleeding and pain in the gums
- Dry, flaky skin
- Difficulty growing hair and nails
- Decreased collagen formation, which can lead to joint pain and muscle weakness
