Can vitamin C be absorbed in the skin as a topical?
Is there any real proof that vitamin c(or any vitamins or minerals or proteins(e.g. collagen)) are absorbed in the skin and the nutrients used by the body?
My question is concerned with the effectiveness of these lotions that make all these claims with the vitamins. I'm not sure if the body can unitize them(I thought it had to do it through digestion).
Any help or references would be greatly appreciated.
How much vitamin C is TOO much to consume in any given day?
I usually drink a lot of orange juice or 2-3 packets of Emergen-C at the first sign of cold or sickness, but is there a such thing as too much vitamin c?
Dave87g: Emergen-C packets have 1,000mg, so 2-3 is 2,000-3,000mg

Is it possible to consume too much Vitamin C?
Lately i have been drinking alot of orange juice and apple juice fortified with Vitamin C and my favorite gum also has Vitamin C and other antioxidants in it. The throat lozenges i frequently use contain Vitamin C. And i crave orange juice all the time, so to stop drinking it is kinda out of the question. I'm afraid that maybe i am getting too much in my system. Is that even possible?
