General All-Around Benefit

Vitamin C plays a very important role in general health. A deficiency of this substance in sufficient amounts can be a factor in loss of appetite, loss of weight or failure to grow, muscular weakness, anemia, and various skin lesions. The relationship between vitamin C and the health of the gums and teeth has long been recognized. Laboratory studies on gum-teeth connective tissue have reaffirmed this relationship.43 Our son, who will be 19 in July, has never developed a tooth cavity. Since age ten he has received at least 10,000 mg of ascorbic acid, daily, by mouth. Before age 10, the amount given was on a sliding scale.44

In general, vitamin C is beneficial for all-around good health, and its benefits accrue with daily use. Adults taking at least 10,000 mg of ascorbic acid daily, and children under ten at least 1,000 mg for each year of life, will find that the brain will be clearer, the mind more active, the body less wearied, and the memory more retentive.
