Infinite One Series: Vitamin C Supplement Review

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant against free radicals and assists in the protection against immune system deficiencies. Vitamin C is protective because it decreases inflammatory markers that alter the body’s stress response. Vitamin C has also been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. When inflammatory hormones increase, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis that regulates the release of cortisol and other hormones becomes dysregulated leading to a cascade of negative health effects. Peer-reviewed research studies have found that Vitamin C inhibits cortisol released by as much as 30%.

At the end of the 2 week study, men who consumed 1 gram of vitamin C a day for two weeks, they had significantly lower cortisol after a 2.5-hour endurance run than a placebo group.

In one study, researchers examined the effect of 2 weeks of supplementation with vitamin C on cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, interleukin-6, oxidative stress and neutrophil responses to a single bout of endurance exercise. Nine healthy endurance-trained males exercised for 2.5 hours at 60% VO2max after two weeks of placebo or Vitamin C (1,000 mg day) supplementation. All participants completed both trials utilizing a randomised crossover design with a minimum 14 day washout period between trials. At the end of the 2 week study, men who consumed 1 gram of vitamin C a day for two weeks, they had significantly lower cortisol after a 2.5-hour endurance run than a placebo group. Vitamin C is just about the cheapest supplement that you can buy that will help control cortisol levels and reduce free radical damage.
