The requirement for vitamin C to prevent clinical scurvy is less than 10 mg/day. However, at this level of intake wounds do not heal properly because of the requirement for vitamin C for the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue. An intake of 20 mg/ day is required for optimum wound healing. Allowing for individual variation in requirements, this gives a reference intake for adults of 30 mg/day, which was the British RDA until 1991 and is the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization/ World Health Organization RDA.
