Urine Vitamin C
Vitamin C in the human body exists in the form of L-ascorbic acid (reduced ascorbic acid) and L-dehydroascorbic acid (oxidized ascorbic acid). Under normal dietary intake (75 to 100 mg / d), about 50% to 70% of the ascorbic acid in the body is catabolized into CO2 and oxalic acid, and the remaining ascorbic acid is excreted with urine.
