It is claimed that your body has a stock of vit C and D for 3 months. How much is that stock then, and if it is used up, how many days does it take for your body to replenish it, since your body can only absorb a limited amount per day? day.
Answer
Vitamin C is water soluble. So there is a limited stock of it in the body (estimated at 2.5-3 grams). In the event of a shortage, problems will arise after weeks, but it can be supplemented just as quickly.
Vitamin D is fat soluble and can be stored in fatty tissues. Many people can walk around for years with relative deficits. This often manifests itself as osteoporosis (bone loss) and the risk of fractures. Stocks can be built up relatively quickly (800-1000 units per day but boost doses of 24000 units are also administered). How quickly and effectively this happens is best checked under the supervision of a doctor, who can determine the blood levels. Vitamin D is harmful in too high doses!
