SLC23A1

SLC23A1 makes SVCT1, a transporter involved in vitamin C handling in the intestine and kidneys. Human rs33972313 studies reliably measured a small difference in circulating vitamin C. They did not measure a person's dietary absorption or vitamin C inside all cells. The customer result must stay a blood-vitamin-C tendency and must not give diet or supplement advice.
