About

Vitamin C Flow

Vitamin C is not simply "what you swallow." The more you take at once, the smaller the share your body absorbs, and whatever it cannot use leaves as urine. Vitamin C Flow does not just count milligrams. It shows where that vitamin C is inside you, right now. ■ The current state, at a glance Just taken / Absorbing / Circulating / In use / Clearing surplus. A quiet ring and a few drifting particles show today's flow. ■ Logging is just taps Tablets, powder, gummies, timed release. Kiwi, orange, bell pepper. Pick the item, pick the time. You will hardly ever see a number pad. "Now", "30 min ago", "Breakfast", "Before bed" - logging after the fact is easy too. ■ Honest estimates, given as a range Based on the well-known tendency for larger single doses to be absorbed less efficiently, the estimated absorbed amount is shown as a range, such as 445-604 mg. Nothing is stated as fact. Numbers here are not something to be afraid of. ■ All at once, or split through the day Doses taken close together behave like one larger dose, so less tends to be absorbed. Split-intake and all-at-once figures help you find a pace that suits you. ■ See that you are keeping it up The calendar fills in with colour as you log. Blank days are never scolded. Analysis shows your averages, your sources, and how often you logged. ■ Alongside your health data Put your vitamin C log next to sleep, steps, active energy and resting heart rate. "Average sleep on higher vitamin C days tended to be longer" - shown only ever as a tendency. (This is a correlation, not a causal relationship.) ■ Widgets and Apple Watch Tap a Home Screen widget to log without opening the app. Keep today's amount on your Lock Screen. Check and log from your wrist. ■ Your log stays on your device No account. No ads, no analytics, nothing sent to a server. --- Vitamin C Flow Pro (one-time purchase) Unlocks the Apple Watch app, month / 3-month / year analysis, comparison with the period before, large and Lock Screen widgets, tap-to-log buttons on the widget, and CSV export. There is no subscription. Daily logging, Home, Calendar, the weekly view and the Health data comparison are free for everyone. --- This app is not a medical device. The figures shown are estimates based on your own records and general nutritional information; they do not indicate actual blood concentration or health status. Please consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
