The (water-soluble) vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is probably the best known of all vitamins. It is mainly found in fresh vegetables, is involved in many metabolic processes and protects the cells from aggressive oxygen compounds (free radicals). Among other things, it also depends on gender how much vitamin C one needs per day. Other factors also influence the vitamin C requirement, for example environmental, physical or psychological stress and diseases, but also intensive sporting activity. The daily vitamin C requirement can also be increased during breastfeeding. Vitamin C is a recognized promoter of iron absorption. It converts plant-based, trivalent iron into the bivalent form and thus makes it more available.

General information
Fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of vitamin C. If fruit is eaten daily, the normal requirement is well covered. Cooking greatly reduces the content, as vitamin C is water-soluble and oxidizes easily. Hot lemon or cooked vegetables quickly lose their vitamin C content. The reason: Vitamin C is not heat-resistant and is quickly destroyed at hot temperatures, this process already starts at about 40 degrees. Cereals, meat and dairy products contain little vitamin C.
