Welcome to the "Regenexx" YouTube channel. Throughout this video, you will learn about the role of Vitamin C in your health and the best sources of Vitamin C.

Hey, Dr. Mark Testa here. In this video, I'll talk about the role of vitamin C in our health, where you can find good foods with vitamin C, and what it really does in helping us maintain our health.

Vitamin C
1. Why they are important (physiology)
It helps to slow down or prevent cell damage. It is needed to keep body tissues and the immune system healthy. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
2. Best food sources
Vitamin C comes from fruits and vegetables. Good sources include citrus, red and green peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, and greens. I believe organ meats are also a source.
3. Typical doses of RDA and others: 75/90-up to 2000mg
4. Side effects of too little
Vitamin C is found in many foods we eat and deficiency is rare. Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. but not getting enough vitamin C may lead to anemia, bleeding gums, infections, dry and splitting hair, and poor wound healing.
5. Side effects of too much
Gas and diarrhea are usually from supplements more than a diet. Higher doses may exacerbate kidney stones.
6. Some studies show that vitamin C supplements may decrease the duration of a cold
