Vitamin C: new approaches to bioavailability and turnover

Abstract

Notes difficulties related to devising specific functional tests of vitamin C status. Looks at approaches used in the study of the mechanisms of vitamin C absorption and their limitations. Outlines the goals of a MAFF project to begin in 1997; these being, for example, to improve current analytical procedures in this area.
