Wondering if you get enough Vitamin C from your diet and/or supplements? VitaChek-C strips have been created for in vitro measurement of urine Vitamin C. Each bottle contains 50 test strips. Start by testing early in the day, before eating or taking nutrients. Then test after breakfast and again in the afternoon. Test a final time right before bed. The test strips are designed to provide a fast, simple way to check your daily Vitamin C levels so you can adjust your diet or nutrient regimen accordingly.
“Vitamin C is found in three pools: tissues, blood, and urine. Vitamin C disappears from the urine early in blood or tissue depletion. Plasma levels fall next, and tissue levels (such as in leukocytes and platelets) are the last to fall. The VitaCheck-C strip on the color chart indicates vitamin C levels of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, and 100 mg/dL. The normal range for urine Vitamin C is greater than 20 mg/dL, and Dr. Martin prefers a level of 100 mg/dL
