“Around 93% of the people receiving the intravenous vitamin C are responding to chemotherapy and radiation, compared to 40% who usually do. The intravenous vitamin C may also show encouraging results in a small sample of people with glioblastoma.”

“Severe vitamin D deficiency in people with COVID-19 associated with greater risk of death than those with normal levels. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body.”

“Two different observational studies on twins have shown that those individuals with the lowest levels of vitamin D had shorter telomeres that were associated with 5 years of aging. The anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D are thought to be responsible for delaying telomere shortening.”

“Having high vitamin D levels may protect the brain, however. Researchers measured vitamin D levels and reviewed MRI brain studies of more than 1,800 adults to identify associations between vitamin D levels and total brain, gray matter, and hippocampal volumes.”

“The study participants included 167 male and female patients (average age, 55 years) with sepsis and ARDS. Every six hours for four days, the patients received either intravenous vitamin C (50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight) or a placebo.”

“After treatment, the mutant mice were as healthy as the normal mice and lived a normal lifespan. Vitamin C also improved how the mice stored and burned fat, decreased tissue inflammation and decreased oxidative stress in the WRN mice.”

“The study involved more than 12,000 adults who were dementia-free at the time of enrollment. Participants provided information about their vitamin D intake and underwent regular cognitive evaluations over a period of 10 years.”

“A growing number of studies have demonstrated the importance of vitamin D in regulating the immune system and controlling COVID-19 disease severity. Authors of a new study found that vitamin D supplementation shortened SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitamin D-deficient people.”

“According to animal research, even mild vitamin C deficiency may impact fetal hippocampal development, a part of the brain crucial for learning and memory. From the article: > "Even marginal vitamin C deficiency in the mother stunts the fetal hippocampus, the important memory centre, by 10-15 per cent, preventing the brain from optimal development," says Professor Jens Lykkesfeldt.”

“Interestingly, the association between low vitamin D concentrations and older brain age was only statistically significant for male participants. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body.”
