Vitamin C can be obtained from many natural sources. The best known sources are the citrus fruits: oranges, lemons, tangerines, limes and grapefruits. The fruits with the highest natural concentrations are citrus fruits, rose hips, strawberries and acerola cherries.
The RDA for adults is considered to be 60mg, although a more adequate level for optimum health would be a total intake of around 500mg per day. Requirements for vitamin C vary according to age (needs increase with years), state of health, weight, activity, energy levels and metabolism. Needs are increased with stress (emotional and environmental), illness and injuries. Smoking, birth control pills, cortisone use and aspirin all decrease vitamin C levels.
