Vitamin C is volatile and deteriorates fast... how to avoid that and what do I take?

Question

I've heard about how vitamin C is volatile and loses its benefits quickly. so which brand of vitamin C supplements should I take to avoid that and get the full benefits of vitamin C?

Answer 1

Vitmain C is vitamin C. But to get more vitamin C in your body, i recommend taking vitamin c with rose hips. Rose hips is very high in vitamin C-more than some citrus fruits. Not only does rose hips contain high amounts of vitamin C, it also contains vitamins A, B, D, and E.

Answer 2

Vitamin C is so easy to get in a regular diet. Orange Juice and many juices in general already have lots of vitamin C. All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Foods that tend to be the highest sources of vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, turnip greens and other leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, and cantaloupe.

Other excellent sources include papaya, mango, watermelon, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapples.

I wouldn't use suppliments; I'd just eat the fruits and veggies it is abundant in. Plus you get other nutrients as well when eating these foods.

Answer 3

Just keep it in a cool dark place in a dark container.This should help to maintain it's freshness for some time...at least until it's expiration date. Vitamin C is very volatile because it's water soluble and water vapors are in the air, so keep it sealed extra tight too.Take care.
