Vitamin C ascorbic acid
What it is

A water-soluble antioxidant needed to build collagen and to absorb plant iron. The body cannot make it.

What it helps with Moderate

Markedly improves absorption of plant iron — that part is clear. For colds, it shortens duration slightly if taken regularly beforehand, not if started once symptoms appear.

Effect on hormones No human data

No measurable effect on sex or thyroid hormones.

Weight and fat loss No human data

Nothing to do with fat loss.

Sleep No human data

Nothing to do with sleep.

Other health effects Strong evidence

Skin, blood vessels and wound healing. Above 1,000 mg absorption falls off sharply and the excess leaves in the urine.

Dose and ceiling

Commonly used: 250-1,000 mg per day

2,000 mg/day — IOM, based on diarrhoea. EFSA sets no limit, citing insufficient data.

Caution Above 2,000 mg causes diarrhoea and cramps. Raises urinary oxalate — limit it if you have had kidney stones. In iron overload (haemochromatosis) high doses are dangerous: they increase iron absorption and tissue damage.
Interacts with medicines High doses blunt the HDL benefit of simvastatin plus niacin. During chemotherapy or radiotherapy, ask the oncologist first.
