Abstract
Conclusions1. A method for the estimation of ascorbic acid in feces is described, and by its use, the fecal content of the normal individual on an adequate but unsupplemented diet is shown to average about 5 mg daily. 2. The plasma, urinary and fecal ascorbic acid contents have been followed in a normal individual after administration of varying amounts of 1-ascorbic acid by mouth. Large variations in the dietary intake were shown to affect the fecal excretion only slightly. 3. Patients suffering from certain gastrointestinal disorders excreted larger quantities of ascorbic acid in the feces than normal individuals.
