How long does vitamin C last in the body?

Question by Jim G: How long does vitamin C last in the body?
If I take 500 mg or 1,000 mg of vitamin C(ascorbic acid), how long will this last in the body? I realize it is water-soluble so it doesn’t last very long, but how long exactly before it gets used up or goes to the bladder? This question is about regular vitamin C pills and powders, not sustained release vitamin C tablets.
