We conducted a fully decentralized clinical trial to explore the effects of vitamin C on constipation symptoms. Participants who experienced functional constipation were randomly assigned to receive either Lactobacillus with vitamin C or vitamin C alone over a two-week treatment period. The study allowed us to gather data remotely, which is quite innovative and accessible.
Looking specifically at the results from the group that received vitamin C, we observed that while there was an increase in the frequency of bowel movements compared to the control group, the isolated effect of vitamin C itself wasn't entirely clear. The combination treatment appeared to improve bowel regularity, but it was difficult to determine how much vitamin C contributed independently to these results.
Additionally, we found that about 67% of participants were diligent in tracking their bowel diary entries, which helped ensure the reliability of our findings to an extent. Yet, a significant portion of the records were not kept as scheduled, highlighting potential hurdles in data collection for decentralized trials.
Overall, our observations suggest that while vitamin C, especially when paired with Lactobacillus, may provide some benefits for those struggling with constipation, we should exercise caution before attributing all improvements solely to vitamin C.

Gentle relief

I am a heavy smoker and experienced severe constipation. I switched to this large capacity, low-cost vitamin C powder. Although the grains are large and don't dissolve easily, I've found the gentle effect on my constipation helpful. My bathroom visits improved from every two weeks to every two days without causing any stomach pain. My skin appears clearer now too, which is a lovely bonus.

I am taking it in mega doses. I've found it easiest to drink a glass of water after taking a spoon (2.5ml) directly from the bottle. This is convenient as it helps with the sourness. My skin seems better thanks to Vitamin C megadoses, and I am pleased that my constipation has been resolved!

Increased constipation
1 people found this helpful
It's odd. This product claims to lighten skin, but it didn't help me at all. I had hoped it would alleviate my constipation, yet it worsened significantly. I increased my intake of lactobacilli, but despite that, I could only go to the toilet once a day. I'm quite frustrated and disappointed, as I was looking for results regarding both whitening and alleviating constipation.

Acne triggered
I have struggled with constipation from a young age. Initially, this product helped, allowing me to visit the toilet once a day. However, after some time, I experienced an excessive amount of acne, which has made me wary. While I was hopeful for constipation relief, the breakout has made it difficult to continue using it.
