“Accelerated PhenoAge was linked with higher inflammatory biomarkers (such as C-reactive protein), higher insulin, higher glucose, higher triglycerides, and lower HDL. The DNA methylation PhenoAge acceleration was also linked to known age-related changes in blood cells, such as decreased populations of CD4 and CD8 T-cells and increased granulocytes.”

“Chronic activation of these hormones can impair immune function, increasing susceptibility to infection and disease. Findings from an early study in mice demonstrate that vitamin C mitigates the body's stress response, thereby improving immunity.”

“GrimAge version 2 added methylation surrogates for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and HbA1c, expanding the model's ability to capture inflammatory and metabolic risk.”

“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.”

“From the article: > In the younger children aged 7.0 to 8.2 years with no exposure to molds or dampness, vitamin C administration increased the FEV1 level by 37% [forced expiratory volume per one second]. In the older children aged 8.3 to 10 years with exposure to molds or dampness in their bedroom more than one year before the study, vitamin C increased the FEV1 level by only 21%.”

“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.”

“Vitamin C does not act the same way. This is why it is VERY important to understand mechanisms and not make generalizations. Vitamin C is in constant homeostasis between oxidized and reduced forms and this depends on many factors including dose.”

“From the article: > "When we treated brain tissue from mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease with vitamin C, we could see that the toxic protein aggregates were dissolved. Our results show a previously unknown model for how vitamin C affects the amyloid plaques," says Katrin Mani, reader in Molecular Medicine at Lund University. Publication.”

“Also, early phase 1 clinical trials showed that the combination of high-dose, intravenous vitamin C with standard chemotherapy or radiation was well tolerated and improved patient outcome. Larger clinical trials are now underway.”

“On average, vitamin C administration shortened ICU stay by 7.8%. In six trials, orally administered vitamin C with an average dose of 2 grams per day reduced the length of ICU stay on average by 8.6%.”
