It takes negative ORP to clean up oxidative damage, and since ascorbic acid has positive ORP,as well as positive redox potential,it can never replace food vitamin C no matter what the quantity!

Acute vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy. Initial symptoms can include fatigue...and inflammation of the gums. As vitamin C deficiency progresses, collagen synthesis becomes impaired and connective tissues become weakened, causing petechiae, ecchymoses, purpura, joint pain, poor wound healing, hyperkeratosis, and corkscrew hairs.
Additional sign include depression as well as swollen, bleeding gums and loosening or loss of teeth due to tissue and capillary fragility. Iron deficiency anemia can also occur due to increased bleeding and decreased nonheme iron absorption secondary to low vitamin C intake [6,11]. In children, bone disease can be present. Left untreated, scurvy is fatal.
