Why do "white-collar workers" need more Vitamin C?
First, because they live a fast-paced life and their intake of vitamins, especially Vitamin C, from three meals a day is insufficient. A typical breakfast mainly consists of grains, eggs, beans, or dairy products, with a limited variety and quantity of vegetables. Furthermore, Vitamin C is easily destroyed by factors such as freshness, cooking methods, and storage time. Relying solely on dinner to supplement Vitamin C is clearly not enough.
Second, "white-collar workers" have high-stress jobs and intense mental pressure, leading to a higher consumption of water-soluble vitamins, especially Vitamin C, compared to the average person. Therefore, their demand for it is also higher. Studies have shown that people who are frequently mentally stressed, especially those with insomnia, have a significantly increased excretion of ascorbic acid in their urine. Mild fatigue is one of the earliest symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency. Maintaining the concentration of ascorbic acid in the blood can enhance psychomotor responsiveness and the ability to concentrate.
Therefore, "white-collar workers" need more vitamins, especially Vitamin C. The new oral Vitamin C product, UPSA-C Vitamin Effervescent Tablets, can ideally help you supplement your Vitamin C intake.
