which ones do you take out of interest?
There was the 500mg version in a previous deal. Just take 4 of these.
The effervescent ones at coles.
Got them on sale for $1 each. Bought 10 of them
20tabs @ 1000mg each and they taste nice
Not sure as a frugal ozbargainer I would go for "just in case" supplements. All you need is 45mg/day which should be already in your food?
Not if you’re an elite skier or ultra marathon runner. These are the only two groups shown in studies to benefit from vitamin C supplementation. 200 mg a day seems to halve the incidence of colds.
Ive observed that.
I usually get a bad flu around feb and this time of the year
Got nothing in feb
Got a mild flu in late april but was literaly not noticable while my wife and kids had a cough and runny nose.
I also noticed that im less sore and recovery time is faster post workout. If its the vit C, then i would theorise its due to its anti-inflamatory effect.So im going to continue high does vit C
3.4. The effect of vitamin C on immune cells activity and cytokines production
The role of vitamin C as a modulator of immune response is well documented. It has been shown that vitamin C can modulate multiple immune cells functions and therefore might exert beneficial effects in the context of cellular immunotherapy. In vitro and in vivo studies reported that vitamin C promotes regulatory T cells (Tregs) functions through TET-dependent demethylation of the fork headbox P3 (FoxP3) regulatory elements [66], [67]. Thus, the induction and activation of TET enzymes in Tregs by vitamin C might be an attractive method for Tregs-mediated adoptive immunotherapy. It has also been shown that vitamin C increases in vivo and in vitro the proliferative capacity of human natural killer (NK) cells [68]. Interestingly, a recent study has demonstrated that vitamin C enhances the activation and differentiation of human Vγ9Vδ2 γδ T cells [69]. Therefore, vitamin C treatment can be considered as a novel strategy to optimize the in vitro generation of effective NK and Vγ9Vδ2 T cells for adoptive transfer for cancer patients. Moreover, vitamin C was shown to stimulate dendritic cells (DCs) to secrete more interleukin-12 (IL-12) and thereby drive naïve CD4 + T cells to differentiate into T helper 1 cells (Th1) [70]. Finally, treatment of mouse bone marrow-derived DCs with vitamin C led to an enhanced CD8 + memory T cell production in vivo [71].
Ive been taking 1000mg daily since 4 months and have noticed my general well being and immune system has improved
