As far as Homo sapiens is concerned, milk is the only animal product that provides a significant amount of the vitamin (1-5 mg per 100 g) and, although there is some in liver, the best sources are fresh fruits (particularly citrus fruits, tomatoes, and green peppers), baked potatoes (17 mg per 100 g), and leafy vegetables. Some fruit, like guavas (300 mg per 100 g) and blackcurrants (200 mg per 100 g), are particularly rich in the vitamin but they contribute little to normal Western dietary intake. Table 5.1 gives a fairly comprehensive list of the vitamin C content of a wide variety of common foods. 

The best known use of vitamin C is as a nutritional supplement, taken to ensure that one receives his or her daily minimum requirement of the vitamin. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C for adults is 60 milligrams per day. Anyone who eats a well-balanced diet that includes citrus fruits, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables probably does not need to take a vitamin supplement. However, the amount of vitamin C one normally receives from a supplement is unlikely to cause any harm.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a well known antioxidant nutrient that functions as a coenzyme in hydroxy-lation reactions for collagen formation. It is found in citrus fruits, tomatoes and berries. Severe deficiency leads to scurvy. Intake of approximately 1 g/day decreases the severity of symptoms of colds but does not reduce their incidence. Intakes of over 2 g/day may cause kidney stones due to accumulation of oxalic acid, the end product of vitamin C metabolism.
