Studies on the excretion of ascorbic acid 2-sulfate and total vitamin C into human urine after oral administration of ascorbic acid 2-sulfate.
The excretion of AsS and total vitamin C into urine after oral administration of AsS to humans was investigated. When 10 mmol of AsS was administered to the subjects, the excretion of AsS into urine continued for 60 hr in males and 48 hr in females. The average amount excreted per hour was less than 5 mg. These results differed from those for AsA and DAsA orally administered to humans. The determination of vitamin C after oral administration of AsS to the subjects consisting of ten males and six females showed no vitamin C effect in humans, similarly to the case with the guinea pig and the rhesus monkey.
