plz read my other QUESTION..
thx and happy holidayS!
I imagine it does...but you can always look on the label. It should say a percentage....that's the percent of the amount that you're getting, if you need 100% a day.
I would suggest drinking orange juice.
Also, There is no conclusive evidence that vitamin C makes colds go away...just fyi.
i have no clue
look it up on yahoo might help
no, but you should drink a lot of orange juice.
the label on the bottle will tell you if you are getting the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. The body doesn't store Vitamin C, so anything above that goes out in the urine.
It gives you a full days supply of Vitamin C - I don't know if increasing the daily requirement will matter once you already have a cold
New studies have shown that vitamin C does not help with colds. If you like V8, drink it. It's not gonna hurt.
gives you all the vitamins you need
how am i supposed to find other questions when they are private
happy holidays
Personally I dont care about vitamin C, but that V8 Splash is tasty. That is why I drink it, its uber tastiness.
Doesnt it say on teh side of the bottle how much vitamin C it has, by law it should.
i odnt know
Yes it does...sort of. It gives you the VC you need to PREVENT a cold, but VC is pretty much worthless once you have the cold. Remember, with medication, a cold will only last seven days. Without medication, it lasts a whole week. Same time frame. VC helps you avoid it, not get over it. Once you have a cold, you have to let it run its course.
I think so. It should be on the label. i think it has over 100% of your DRA. So that should be enough. And hey it is good with gin too. You'll still have a cold, but you won't care. And you'll get all your vitamin c. its win win
V8 gives you a full day's supply of Vitamin C. They say that extra vitaminC when you are ill is beneficial, so multiple glasses (8oz) is probably just what you need. Don't overdose on Vitamin C, however, as I did that once, eating two whole bags of Vitamin C drops by Halls...I had diarrhea for two days. I learned my lesson well.
You need extra vitamin c with a cold, because your immune system is down. When you have a cold, you need more nutrients than normal.
I have no idea how to read your other question, though.
Happy holidays
V8 Splash (all flavors), made by the Campbell Soup Company contains very high amounts of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, but also contain an EXTREMLY hagh amount of sugar and sodium.
Vitamin A is an essential human nutrient. It exists not as a single compound, but in several forms. In foods of animal origin, the major form of vitamin A is an alcohol (retinol), but can also exist as an aldehyde (retinal), or as an acid (retinoic acid). Precursors to the vitamin (a provitamin) are present in foods of plant origin as some of the members of the carotenoid family of compounds.
All forms of Vitamin A have a Beta-ionone ring to which an isoprenoid chain is attached. This structure is essential for vitamin activity.
Retinol, the animal form of Vitamin A, is a yellow, fat-soluble, vitamin with importance in vision and bone growth.
Other retinoids, a class of chemical compounds that are related chemically to Vitamin A, are used in medicine.
Vitamin C or L-ascorbate is an essential nutrient for higher primates, and a small number of other species. The presence of ascorbate is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and in plants and is made internally by almost all organisms, humans being one notable exception. It is widely known as the vitamin whose deficiency causes scurvy in humans. It is also widely used as a food additive.
The pharmacophore of vitamin C is the ascorbate ion. In living organisms, ascorbate is an antioxidant, as it protects the body against oxidative stress, and is a cofactor in several vital enzymatic reactions.
The uses and the daily requirement of vitamin C are matters of on-going debate.
The need to include fresh plant food or raw animal flesh in the diet to prevent disease was known from ancient times. Native peoples living in marginal areas incorporated this into their medicinal lore. For example, spruce needles were used in temperate zones in infusions, or the leaves from species of drought-resistant trees in desert areas. In 1536, the French explorer Jacques Cartier, exploring the St. Lawrence River, used the local natives' knowledge to save his men who were dying of scurvy. He boiled the needles of the arbor vitae tree to make a tea that was later shown to contain 50 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams.
Throughout history, the benefit of plant food to survive long sea voyages has been occasionally recommended by authorities. John Woodall, the first appointed surgeon to the British East India Company, recommended the preventive and curative use of lemon juice in his book "The Surgeon's Mate", in 1617. The Dutch writer, Johann Bachstrom, in 1734, gave the firm opinion that "scurvy is solely owing to a total abstinence from fresh vegetable food, and greens; which is alone the primary cause of the disease."
While the earliest documented case of scurvy was described by Hippocrates around the year 400 BC, the first attempt to give scientific basis for the cause of this disease was by a ship's surgeon in the British Royal Navy, James Lind. Scurvy was common among those with poor access to fresh fruit and vegetables, such as remote, isolated sailors and soldiers. While at sea in May 1747, Lind provided some crew members with two oranges and one lemon per day, in addition to normal rations, while others continued on cider, vinegar, sulfuric acid or seawater, along with their normal rations. In the history of science this is considered to be the first occurrence of a controlled experiment comparing results on two populations of a factor applied to one group only with all other factors the same. The results conclusively showed that citrus fruits prevented the disease. Lind published his work in 1753 in his Treatise on the Scurvy.
Lind's work was slow to be noticed, partly because he gave conflicting evidence within the book, and partly because the British admiralty saw care for the well-being of crews as a sign of weakness. In addition, fresh fruit was very expensive to keep on board, whereas boiling it down to juice allowed easy storage but destroyed the vitamin (especially if boiled in copper kettles. Ship captains assumed wrongly that Lind's suggestions didn't work because those juices failed to cure scurvy.
It was 1795 before the British navy adopted lemons or lime as standard issue at sea. Limes were more popular as they could be found in British West Indian Colonies, unlike lemons which weren't found in British Dominions, and were therefore more expensive. This practice led to the American use of the nickname "limey" to refer to the British. Captain James Cook had previously demonstrated and proven the principle of the advantages of fresh and preserved foods, such as sauerkraut, by taking his crews to the Hawaiian Islands and beyond without losing any of his men to scurvy. For this otherwise unheard of feat, the British Admiralty awarded him a medal.
The name "antiscorbutic" was used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as general term for those foods known to prevent scurvy, even though there was no understanding of the reason for this. These foods included but were not limited to: lemons, limes, and oranges; sauerkraut, cabbage, malt, and portable soup.
In 1907, Axel Holst and Theodor Fr?lich, two Norwegian physicians studying beriberi contracted aboard ship's crews in the Norwegian Fishing Fleet, wanted a small test mammal to substitute for the pigeons they used. They fed guinea pigs their test diet, which had earlier produced beriberi in their pigeons, and were surprised when scurvy resulted instead. Until that time scurvy had not been observed in any organism apart from humans, and had been considered an exclusively human disease.
no. it is only 10% juice anyway. you would get more C from a citrus fruit. That stuff is a waste of money
