What are ascorbic acid tablets used for, and how do they benefit the body? - #14729
I recently started taking ascorbic acid tablets, but I’m not sure exactly how they benefit my health. I know it’s a form of vitamin C, but I don’t fully understand why I need it or how it works. What exactly is ascorbic acid, and how does it support the body’s functions? I know it helps boost the immune system, but does it also have other roles, like promoting skin health or improving iron absorption? Also, how much ascorbic acid do I need each day, and can it be harmful in excess? I also want to understand if there are natural sources of ascorbic acid that work just as well as tablets. Does eating fruits like oranges and berries give me the same benefits, or are supplements necessary for higher doses? If anyone has used ascorbic acid tablets, what health issues did they help with, and did you experience any side effects or benefits?
