Relation between intake and plasma concentration of vitamin C in elderly women

A study of the relationship between vitamin C intake and plasma levels in 101 elderly women revealed an increased sigmasoidal trend in plasma level with intake not heretofore reported. The results suggest that recommended vitamin C plasma levels in excess of 0.35 mg/100 mL may be achieved, even in t...

Zusammenfassung:	A study of the relationship between vitamin C intake and plasma levels in 101 elderly women revealed an increased sigmasoidal trend in plasma level with intake not heretofore reported. The results suggest that recommended vitamin C plasma levels in excess of 0.35 mg/100 mL may be achieved, even in the elderly, if vitamin C daily intake is maintained above 60 mg. (author)
