초록

비타민 C는 체내에서 중요한 항산화제 역할을 한다. 그러나 비타민 C와 다양한 대사 질환과의 관련성은 보고되었지만, 비타민 C의 섭취량, 체내 저장량, 항산화를 비롯한 체내 기능 사이의 관계를 용량-반응 관계를 연구한 것은 거의 없다. 따라서 비타민 C의 섭취 기준은 비타민 C 섭취량이 혈장 농도와 백혈구들의 포화도의 변화에 미치는 정도와, 이것이 항산화 능력과 대사성질환의 위험도에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 설정하였다. 2020 한국인 비타민 C 섭취 기준을 설정할 때 그 기준은 2015년의 설정 기준에서 변한 것은 없지만 연령별 표준체중의 변경을 반영하여 다시 계산하여 개정하였다. 2017년 이후부터 건강기능식품을 섭취하는 사람들이 증가하면서 비타민 C를 평균섭취량보다 적게 섭취하는 성인은 약 10%였으나, 청소년과 노인기에서는 평균섭취량보다 적게 섭취하는 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 비타민 C 보충제의 섭취량이 증가하고 있어서 비타민 C의 섭취가 과잉인 사람들의 비율도 증가하고 있다. 흡연자나 대사질환 등 만성 질환을 가진 사람들에서 비타민 C의 필요량 증가에 대한 별도의 기준을 정하는 것이 필요하다는 의견도 있지만, 이것을 뒷받침할 만한 과학적 근거가 부족하여 기준을 설정하지는 않았다. 결과적으로 추후 한국인을 대상으로 한 흡연자, 대사질환 환자에서 비타민 C의 섭취 기준을 설정에 관련된 연구와, 보충제로 인한 비타민 C의 과잉 섭취와 다른 영양소와의 상호 작용 등에 대한 연구가 필요하겠다.

Vitamin C is an important physiological antioxidant which neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduces the oxidative stress in the body. Although it has been associated with various diseases, few studies have reported the dose-response relationship between vitamin C intake, storage and functions in the body, including its antioxidant function. The criteria to establish the Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (KDRIs) for vitamin C were based on the changes in plasma concentrations and saturation of leukocytes according to intake levels and the effects on antioxidant capacity and risk of metabolic diseases. When establishing the 2020 vitamin C KDRI, while there was no change in the criteria from those of 2015, the reference values were recalculated and revised to reflect changes such as the new standard weight by age. As the number of people consuming dietary supplements has increased over the last decade, only about 10% of adults consume less than the average total vitamin C, but the proportion of adolescents and elderly who consume less than the average is high. On the other hand, as the intake of vitamin C supplements increases, the proportion of people consuming excessive vitamin C is also increasing. There is a body of opinion that it is necessary to establish a vitamin C KDRI for smokers or people with chronic diseases such as the metabolic syndrome, but these standards have not been established due to the lack of supporting scientific evidence. As a result, studies to establish vitamin C KDRI for Korean smokers and patients with the metabolic syndrome, as well as studies on the excessive intake of vitamin C due to supplementation and interactions with other nutrients, are needed.
