   Vitamin C helps to shorten the duration of the common cold and improve recovery from surgery. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so it cannot be stored for long in the body, so it needs to be replenished regularly.

Excess vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins are removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.

Experts at the National Institutes of Health recommend that men get 90 mg of vitamin C per day. For women, the recommended amount of vitamin C is 75 mg. If you smoke, you need to add more than the usual 35 mg, because smoking depletes the amount of vitamin C in the body.

To get the maximum benefit, you need to take this vitamin at the right time. According to functional medicine expert Robert Zembroski, author of the book Rebuild: Five Proven Steps to Move from Diagnosis to Recovery and Be Healthier Than Before, you should take vitamin C every day after meals. In fact, vitamin C is highly acidic, so it can cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.

If you don’t like drinking after a meal, you can take it between meals to prevent nausea. Another option is to split the dose of vitamin C needed. This helps to improve absorption, limit nausea and maintain vitamin levels in the body. Schedule a regular dose of vitamin C after one or more meals throughout the day to help you better remember to take the pill.
