When it comes to vitamin C, many people consider it a good thing. There are many foods with vitamin C around us, such as vitamin C beverages, candies, juice... Many businesses emphasize the role of vitamin C, ranging from fighting cardiovascular diseases to colds, oral ulcers, and even beauty and skincare. Vitamin C can play an important role. In recent years, various vitamin C products have also become the darling of the market, but the problem has come! What is the difference between the natural vitamin C that many businesses on the market highly recommend, which costs hundreds of yuan per bottle, and the inconspicuous few yuan per bottle of vitamin C? Is natural vitamin C really better than synthetic vitamin C? Let's clarify these questions one by one today! What is the effect of vitamin C? Vitamin C may be the most commonly heard vitamin, and many products also emphasize the importance of vitamin C. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), also known as "ascorbic acid", is an essential nutrient in the human body and is indeed very important for human health. If the human body lacks vitamin C for a long time, it can lead to scurvy, causing gum bleeding, tooth loss, skin problems, and even life-threatening in severe cases. Several hundred years ago during the era of great navigation, many sailors often died of a disease called scurvy after going to sea. It was later discovered that vitamin C was called "ascorbic acid" because of a lack of vitamin C. Vitamin C is water-soluble. If excess vitamin C is consumed, it will be excreted from the body through our urine. Do we need to supplement vitamin C?

And our recommended health dose is 100 milligrams per day. It can be seen that many of us still have the problem of insufficient intake of vitamin C, mainly due to insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables. A previous study by the Lancet pointed out that one of our dietary problems is not eating enough fruits. So, consuming a moderate amount of vitamin C every day is not harmful, and even the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. After all, vitamin C is water-soluble, with relatively high safety and low cost. How different is natural VS synthesis? There are many vitamin C products on the market, some two to three yuan per bottle, some two to three hundred one bottles, and two to three hundred one bottles usually say they are natural and better. So, is there really a difference between natural vitamin C and artificially synthesized vitamin C? Is natural vitamin C really better? In fact, from the perspective of supplementing vitamin C in the human body, there is no difference between natural vitamin C and artificially synthesized vitamin C. Firstly, structurally speaking, the chemical structures of natural vitamin C and artificially synthesized vitamin C are completely the same, with only different sources. Natural vitamins are vitamins extracted from food, while synthetic vitamins are vitamins with the same composition produced through artificial synthesis methods. Many people would think that
