The world today is being driven by manufacturing companies in terms of basic commodities such as our food and beverages. From farm (raw materials) to final products (frozen, processed, and/or canned goods), processing alone produces carbon dioxide emissions. In recent years, China is one of the most producing carbon dioxide emissions of about 28% (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2018) mainly because China is the main manufacturing capital of the world.

It also plays an important role in wound healing, bone strength, and brain function. Surprisingly, some claim that vitamin C supplements provide benefits in addition to those obtained from food-based vitamin C.

Like other micronutrients, Vitamin C is a necessary nutrient for the human body. According to Rachel Nall, it is an antioxidant that aids in a variety of important processes such as blood pressure regulation, inflammation control, and collagen formation. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that it dissolves in water and is not stored in the body. However, supplementing with high amounts of vitamin C can cause side effects such as digestive distress and kidney stones. If you overdose on this vitamin, it will begin to accumulate in your body, potentially leading to overdose symptoms.
