a) Nature of Vitamin C<\/strong><\/p>\n

The properties of vitamin C are:
\n\u300dVitamin C is a vitamin that is most easily damaged.
\n\u300dVitamin C is easily oxidized and the process is accelerated by heat, light, alkali, enzymes, oxidant, and catalyst by copper and iron.
\nVitamin C in the body is useful in the formation and maintenance of an adhesive substance which connects cells with cells of various tissues. Vitamin C deficiency can also lead to weakening of the walls of blood capillaries that facilitate bleeding. Vitamin C deficiency can also lead to changes in the composition of bone and cartilage (kartilase), bleeding gums, and teeth.<\/p>\n

Also askorbin acid was also influential in the formation of blood cells in bone formation and in the maintenance of normal levels of hemoglobin. The disease scurvy, caused by vitamin C deficiency is a deficiency disease known the longest. Properties of vitamin C is water soluble and will be easily damaged by prolonged heating. Various factors can affect levels of vitamin C in the diet include:
\n– A food that is stored too long.
\n– Raw foods are dried in the sun.
\n– Heating is too long.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C is commonly found in many foods, such as ripe fruits. Reserves of vitamin C in the body in the adrenal glands, glands tumys and others. Total reserves of vitamin C is dependent on the amount of vitamin C contained in the daily diet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Oxidation is inhibited when vitamin C is left in an acidic state, or at low temperatures. Vitamin C can be absorbed very quickly by means of your digestive tract into the blood and distributed to all body tissues. Kelenjer adrenaline contains vitamin C which is very high.<\/p><\/div>\n

In general the body absorb vitamin C very little. Excess vitamin C from food consumption will be excreted through the urine. Therefore, if a person consumes large amounts of vitamin C (megadose), most will be thrown out, especially if that person used to consume foods high in nutrients. But on the contrary, if the person is ugly previous nutritional state, then most of that amount may be retained by the body tissues.<\/p>\n
b) Due to Lack of Vitamin C<\/strong>
\nLack of vitamin C will cause scurvy disease or sprue. Skorbut disease rarely occurs in infants; when it occurs in children, usually after age 6 months and under 12 months.<\/div>\n

The symptoms of the disease scurvy is pelembekan woven collagen, infection, and fever. Also arise pain, softening, swelling of the legs and thighs. In children whose teeth have come out, swollen gums, tender, and bleeding. In adults scurvy occurs after several months of suffering from a lack of vitamin C in food. The symptoms are swelling and bleeding of the gums, gingivalis, the feet become soft, anemia, and bone deformation.<\/p>\n
Acute ulcer disease can be cured in some time with the administration of 100 to 200 mg of vitamin C per day. When you have a chronic illness takes longer needed for recovery and supply of vitamin C is more enhanced.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
