Hello Nuryatini,
Thank you for the question.
Vitamin C has strong antioxidant potential. This vitamin is not only good for maintaining healthy skin, bones and teeth, but it can also help increase stamina, improve endurance, accelerate post-illness healing, launch metabolism, maintain ideal body weight, control fat and blood sugar levels, prevent the formation of cancer cells, and many other uses.
Naturally, you can get vitamin C by consuming a lot of guava, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, chilies, sprouts, and many other food ingredients. If you feel lacking, you can take vitamin C supplements.
The recommended dose of vitamin C for healthy children is around 25 mg per day (maximum 650 mg per day). Meanwhile, for adults, the recommended dose of vitamin C is around 75 to 90 mg per day (maximum 2000 mg per day). This recommended dose of vitamin C may differ depending on many factors, including age, body posture, activities undertaken, and also general health conditions. Therefore, even though it is relatively safe to consume freely, if you want to consume long-term vitamin C supplements (more than 2 weeks) it is still advisable to check with your doctor first ..
I hope this helps.
