VC is one of the common vitamins we use in our daily life. In fact, everyone only has a one-sided understanding of its effects. For example, we know that it can treat scurvy, soften blood vessels, and whiten the skin. However, although vitamin C has many benefits, it cannot be consumed in excess. In addition, there are many institutions in the world that recommend patients to get vitamin C injections. So what are the effects of vitamin C injections? Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect, can reduce pigment production, and has a certain whitening effect, but applying vitamin C directly on the skin is not easily absorbed by the skin, so the effect of this practice is not obvious. If the quality of the injection used is not up to standard, it may also damage the skin. It is recommended to avoid direct contact with the skin when using vitamin C for whitening. Vitamin C injection can be taken orally, and it is okay to take it in the short term, but it does not mean that all injections can be taken orally. It should be noted that the injection uses a therapeutic dose, which is a medicine. The dose is many times larger than that of health care medicine. Long-term use may cause vitamin C poisoning. Large doses can cause diarrhea, rash, excessive stomach acid or urinary system stones. In severe cases, it can cause hemolysis, or even death. If a large dose is taken for a long time and the drug is suddenly stopped, symptoms of scurvy may appear. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Among all vitamins, vitamin C is the most unstable. It is easily destroyed during storage, processing and cooking. It is also easily oxidized and decomposed. Vitamin C has a strong reducing property and is easily oxidized into dehydroascorbic acid, but the reaction is reversible, and ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid have the same physiological function. However, if dehydroascorbic acid continues to oxidize to produce diketogulonic acid, the reaction will be irreversible and the physiological effectiveness will be completely lost. Main physiological functions of vitamin C 1. Promote the biosynthesis of collagen, which is conducive to faster healing of tissue wounds; 2. Promote the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan in amino acids and prolong the life of the body. 3. Improve the utilization of iron, calcium and folic acid. 4. Improve the metabolism of fats and lipids, especially cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. 5. Promote the growth of teeth and bones and prevent gum bleeding. 6. Enhance the body's ability to resist stress and immunity to the external environment. Suitable for the following treatments: 1. It is used to treat scurvy, and can also be used as an auxiliary treatment for various acute and chronic infectious diseases and purpura. 2. Treatment of chronic iron poisoning: Vitamin C promotes the chelation of iron by deferoxamine, accelerating the excretion of iron. |
