How Much Vitamin C Can The Human Body Absorb At Once?

  • My friend keeps telling me that human body can only absorb 100% of the recommended dose of vitamin C, but then why are there supplements that have way more than the 100% daily value. So how much vitamin C can the human body absorb at once before the rest is just pissed out?

  • Answer:

    It really depends on how fast your metabolism is. The 100% is the Daily Recommended Value and has nothing to do with absorption. If the vitamin is taken in a liquid form it will absorb more of it (since it doesn't have to take the time to break it down from a solid) also, if you take it during or after a meal, it will stay in your stomach longer, allowing for it to have a longer chance to be absorbed.
