Vitamin C is one of the most relevant vitamin known to the world. Although most vitamin C is completely absorbed in the small intestine, the percentage of absorbed vitamin C decreases as the dietary intake concentrations increase. As a result, in small quantities Vitamin C is absorbed, but when trying to take larger doses, only small amount it is absorbed by the body and the rest is excreted in the urine (1).
