SURYAKEPRI.COM – Vitamin C has an important role in maintaining the immune system. Especially during the pandemic, the immune system becomes one of the ‘bulwarks’ to protect oneself from the threat of Covid-19.
Then, when is the right time to consume vitamin C?
Vitamin C works as an antioxidant, reduces free radicals, is anti-inflammatory, and helps the immune system to fight disease.
There are several forms of vitamin C supplementation, including ascorbic acid, ascorbic acid with bioflavonoids, vitamin C liposomes, and calcium ascorbate.
As reported by Healthline, you can take vitamin C supplements at any time, as long as it is appropriate and does not exceed the recommended daily dose. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, so it doesn’t need to be taken with food.
However, taking ascorbic acid with food can help reduce the potential gastrointestinal side effects caused by its high acidity.
Be sure to store vitamin C supplements in a cool, dark place, as this nutrient is sensitive to heat and light.
