The recommended daily intake for vitamin C is 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men
While it’s commonly advised to get your vitamin C intake from foods, many people turn to supplements to meet their needs I use oral vitamin C regularly in my practice as well as intravenous Vitamin C. I recommended 2,000 mg of liposomal Vitamin C as a COVID preventative
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defenses. Antioxidants are molecules that boost the immune system. They do so by protecting cells from harmful molecules called free radicals. When free radicals accumulate, they can promote a state known as oxidative stress, which has been linked to many chronic diseases. Studies show that consuming more vitamin C can increase your blood antioxidant levels by up to 30%. It is even better if you get a intravenous C infusion
I have used Vitamin C to help reduce blood pressure. More importantly it can reduce your risk for heart disease An analysis of 9 studies with a combined 293,172 participants found that after 10 years, people who took at least 700 mg of vitamin C daily had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who did not take a vitamin C supplement.
Interestingly, another analysis of 15 studies found that consuming vitamin C from foods — not supplements — was linked to a lower risk of heart disease. I don’t understand why more conventional or allopathic doctors don’t prescribe it
Until tomorrow…
