Mucosal block phenomenon of iron absorption I was not aware that a large dose of iron would reduce the absorption of the next dose. This information is important to know, especially in seniors with hypochlorhydria (reduced stomach acid) and anemia because iron can be difficult to absorb. This means iron should be given in smaller […]
Pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations selectively kill cancer cells: Action as a pro-drug to deliver hydrogen peroxide to tissues Linus Pauling was frequently considered somewhat of a quack by his peers, and his concepts of high dose Vitamin C were not well accepted. Well, as in so many cases before, time has proven that some of […]
VITAMIN C CONJUGATES OF GENOTOXIC LIPID PEROXIDATION PRODUCTS: STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND DETECTION IN HUMAN PLASMA This is a perfect example of needing to get the whole story before we jump to conclusion. Compare this with recent media exposure of the Vit E increasing mortality review. In this study, the authors looked further at the process […]
Hypoxia–reoxygenation-induced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in human endothelial cells are inhibited by vitamin C Many people are unaware of this, but with a stroke or heart attack, the area that is initially deprived of oxygen is actually SMALLER than the area that ultimately dies off. This is because when a cell is starved for oxygen […]
Human adrenal glands secrete vitamin C in response to adrenocorticotrophic hormone I have to admit, this one caused me to slow down and do a double take. It is well known that adrenals burn through Vit C under stress. I had always just assumed that this meant that Vit C was being used as a […]
