“Myrosinase activation is not dependent on vitamin C's redox capacity; rather, the vitamin helps catalyze the hydrolytic reaction. Myrosinase is heat-sensitive; as such, it is readily inactivated at most cooking temperatures.”

“> The mice who received an ovariectomy -- and no vitamin C -- had a much lower bone mineral density (BMD) versus controls, whereas mice who received a ovariectomy and large doses of vitamin C, had roughly the same BMD as the controls, suggesting vitamin C prevented BMD loss in this group.”

“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.”

“Vitamin C supplementation also prevented the nicotine-induced increases in surfactant apoprotein-B protein. [...] > Prenatal nicotine exposure significantly decreased levels of elastin content in the lungs of offspring, and these effects were slightly attenuated by vitamin C.”

“Researchers gave people with long COVID either a combination of liposomal vitamin C and arginine or a placebo for four weeks. They measured their walking speed, strength, and endothelial function before and after the intervention.”

“Vitamin C supports collagen production and stress defenses, yet few studies directly measure how diet influences vitamin C inside living skin. A new study tackled this gap by tracking how increasing vitamin C intake from whole foods changes vitamin C levels inside different layers of human skin.”

“The combination of oral zinc complexed with additional antioxidants and natural compounds such as azelaic acid, copper, folic acid, vitamin C, and nicotinamide demonstrated significant improvement compared to placebo treatments.”

“Re-analysis of landmark vitamin C trial data reveals current recommendations for intake may be too low for optimal health. During World War II, researchers in England conducted an experiment to determine the level at which vitamin C depletion causes scurvy, a potentially life-threatening collagen-related disorder.”

“A recent meta-analysis found that vitamin C treatment shortened the duration of mechanical ventilation among patients in the intensive care unit. The investigators looked at the findings from eight trials involving 685 patients.”

“> "Prior to this, we never knew what indicators to look for that would demonstrate the protective role of vitamin C against oxidized lipids," Stevens said. "Now that we see them, it becomes very clear how vitamin C can provide a protective role against these oxidized lipids and the toxins derived from them.”
