how does temperature affect a vitamin C supplement?
I found a bottle of vitamin C capsules that had gone missing during my last move and spent the hot summer months in the garage. I know that the molecule is fragile, and cooking destroys it in food, but will moderately high temperature (we were in the low 100's Fahrenheit all summer) have an adverse effect on it? Should I go ahead and use them, or just throw them out and get new?

Their potency has been greatly reduced. Replace them.
