Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin. It occurs as a white or slightly yellow crystal or powder with a slight acidic taste. It is an antiscorbutic product. On exposure to light, it gradually darkens. In the dry state, it is reasonably stable in air, but in solution it rapidly oxidizes. Ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is freely soluble in water; sparingly soluble in alcohol; insoluble in chloroform, in ether, and in benzene. The chemical name of ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is L-ascorbic acid (vitamin c)

• Vitamin C is recommended for the prevention and treatment of scurvy.
• Symptoms of mild deficiency may include faulty bone and tooth development, gingivitis, bleeding gums, and loosened teeth. Febrile states, chronic illness, and infection (pneumonia, whooping cough, tuberculosis, diphtheria, sinusitis, rheumatic fever, etc.) increase the need for ascorbic acid (vitamin c).

Less common or rare- with high doses

•  Diarrhea
•  dizziness or faintness (with the injection only)
•  flushing or redness of skin
•  headache
•  increase in urination (mild)
•  nausea or vomiting
•  stomach cramps

• Diabetics, patients prone to recurrent renal calculi, those undergoing stool occult blood tests, and those on sodium-restricted diets or anticoagulant therapy should not take excessive doses of vitamin C over an extended period of time.
• Too-rapid intravenous injection is to be avoided.
• Diabetics taking more than 500 mg vitamin C daily may obtain false readings of their urinary glucose test.

Collagen Peptide is a proteoglycan synthesis stimulator. It works by building cartilage (soft connective tissue around the joints) leading to joint repair. It also lowers pain and inflammation (swelling). It is responsible for several biological functions, one of which is to provide structural support in connective tissue, muscle, and skin.

 

•  Collagen Peptide is used for osteoarthritis. Collagen supplements helps promote joint health and potentially restore some bone density.
•  Collagen makes up a significant amount of bone structure and helps keep thebones strong.
•  Collagen is the protein responsible for skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles andadding moisture to the skin.
•  They are also used for brittle nails and muscle strength.

 Taking collagen supplements may also help support a healthy cardiovascularsystem.
 Some other potential things that collagen may help with include:

•  maintaining a healthy gut
•  maintaining a healthy weight
•  reducing anxiety
•  improving mood
•  promoting healthy nail and hair growth

•  diarrhea
•  a general feeling of heaviness in the stomach
•  rashes

Collagen Peptide is possibly safe, with very none or very mild side effects. Not enough is known about the safety of collagen peptides when used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
