Why we need Vitamin C?
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
A population-based cross sectional survey in two areas of north and south India were investigated for the prevalence of vitamin C deficiency in people aged more than 60. The age, sex and season standardized prevalence of vitamin C deficiency was 73.9% in 2668 people in north India and 45.7% in 2970 from south India (1). This indicated the poor nutrition and lower dietary intakes of vitamin C in communities of Indian population.
Additionally, a cross-sectional study on adults from Western India was done to examine interrelationships between (a) dietary habits, (b) socioeconomic and (c) environmental factors, and their impact on plasma ascorbic acid (2-3). Subnormal status of vitamin C was observed and the study emphasizes the need to increase consumption of fruit, green leafy vegetables and milk products, and also better education and environment.

Scientific evidence suggests that vitamin C supplementation in adults and children with a common cold can significantly reduce its duration and severity and relieve cold symptoms (1-2). Furthermore, supplementation with vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections. Three controlled trials found that vitamin C prevented pneumonia (3). Two controlled trials found a treatment benefit of vitamin C for pneumonia patients.
