Fig. 2. Steady-state plasma vitamin C concentrations (mean ± SD) as a function of dose for all doses for 15 women. Subjects consumed a vitamin C deficient diet, resulting in plasma and tissue vitamin C depletion. Vitamin C in solution was then administered by mouth at the doses shown until steady state was reached for each dose. Doses through 200 mg daily were received by 15 subjects, through 1000 mg daily by 13 subjects and through 2500 mg daily by 10 subjects.
