| Debbietipton's Full Review: Vitamin C |
Vitamin C is a daily supplement that is good for so many things. This article will cover just a few of the reasons that you may want to add this particular vitamin to your daily diet.
A study done by a group of doctors shows that taking 500 mg of Vitamin C twice a day will help shrink the size of some bedsores by at least 84%. This is interesting to know for those who care for someone who is bed ridden or wheel chair bound. These types of people would be more prone to getting bedsores. However, it is always a good idea to get your doctors approval before just starting such a regiment.
Doctors also found that taking 500 to 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily will help to enhance skin collagen formation which will help to make blood vessels less brittle. This would be especially valuable to you if you were taking corticastiroids or aspirin for arthritis. Some British researchers did a study and learned that aspirin will rob the body of Vitamin C. They also discovered that arthritis inflammation itself will rob the body of this important nutrient. When people take at least 500 mg of Vitamin C daily, their bruises seemed to heal more rapidly.
Vitamin C has also been the latest miracle ingredient to show up in skin creams. The Vitamin C will penetrate the skin and this too will help to build up the skins collagen structure.
Vitamin C will also revitalize older skin protecting it against bruising and becoming to frail. If you apply a Vitamin C cream to a bruise it will help to prevent discoloration. It must be applied to the fresh bruise though. Researchers have also found that a Vitamin C cream will hop with sun damaged skin.
For you women who have trouble with a heavy monthly menstrual flow, did you know that an increased dose of Vitamin C will help with that? A dose of 1,000 to 2,000 mgs a day, beginning a few days before your cycle begins and lasting throughout will help to firm up the walls of tiny blood vessels in the uterus. This helps to lesson the flow. It is a good idea to speak to your doctor before taking this high of a dose though.
Some other problems that a Vitamin C regiment may help you with are:
1.) Yeast Infections: 500 mgs daily will increase the acidity of the vagina making a very yeast unfriendly diet.
2.) Mouth Sores
3.) Sinus Problems: It is believed that 3,000 mgs of Vitamin C along with 30 mgs of Zinc will cause the swollen tissues in the nose to shrink.
