is limcee tablets used to make vitamin c serum ## Hi uzma, From what I could gather, Vitamin C Serum can come in the form of many products... some of which use Asorbic acid as a source of Vitamin C. Limcee also contains Ascrobic Acid, so it is regarded as a Vitamin C tablet. However, this doesn't necessarily mean you can break the tablet up and use it to make skin serum. Many tablets have binders/fillers that you may not want to put on your skin anyways. I think your best bet would probably be to find raw Vitamin C in it's purest and least processed form, from a reputable organic company. I personally like the one by Healthforce, who makes a 100% whole food vitamin C powder from acerola berry. It's a really fine non toxic powder with no asorbic acid either. This is great for...

Good day! I'm ken and 9 months pregnant. I have had a cough and colds for 3 days. I went to my DR for a consultation on what to take. My U/A result is: 4-6 in pus cell. Then my doctor prescribed me only amoxicillin and paracetamol, but my problem now is my cough. I mean it's a productive cough. There's phlegm inside and it wont come out. And because im pregnant I cant take any meds for the cough, all i can do is increase H2O and ascorbic acid. And i take ascorbic acid 2x daily. Is it ok if I take ascorbic acid 2x a day? ## Ascorbic acid is just a form of Vitamin C, so there is no harm in taking it, or H2O, which is water. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including acidity and heartburn. Is there anything else I can help with?

A vitamin (US /vatmn/ or UK /vtmn/) is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts.[1] An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animals, a...
