Vitamin C alleviates chemotherapy insomnia
Relief from cancer chemotherapy side effects with pharmacologic vitamin C.
Focus on insomnia and fatigue
We explored the effects of pharmacologic vitamin C on insomnia related to cancer chemotherapy. In our case study, we worked with a woman battling recurrent breast cancer who was experiencing significant fatigue and lethargy as she underwent weekly chemotherapy sessions.

To combat her sleep disturbances, we administered high doses of vitamin C, 50 grams per session, twice a week. We also employed quality of life and fatigue questionnaires to monitor changes over time.

The results were promising! We observed marked improvements in her insomnia and overall fatigue levels. Furthermore, there was a notable enhancement in her cognitive functioning, without any adverse side effects from the vitamin C treatment.

This case highlights how vitamin C may offer relief from insomnia associated with chemotherapy, providing a new avenue for improving quality of life during cancer treatment.

Vitamin C shows limited insomnia benefits
Efficacy of vitamins C, E, and their combination for treatment of restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Limited relevance due to combination
We evaluated the effects of vitamin C on insomnia by investigating its impact on patients suffering from restless legs syndrome (RLS) during hemodialysis. In a well-designed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we worked with sixty stable hemodialysis patients who met all diagnostic criteria for RLS.

These patients were divided into four groups to receive either vitamin C and vitamin E, vitamin C and a placebo, vitamin E and a placebo, or double placebos for a period of eight weeks. We measured the severity of RLS symptoms using the International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) before and after the treatment phase.

Our findings showed that while the combination and individual treatments of vitamins C and E led to reduced IRLS scores, indicating improvement in symptoms, vitamin C alone didn't demonstrate a significant effect on insomnia. In fact, there were no distinct advantages between the treatment groups when comparing their outcomes to the placebo. Ultimately, while these vitamins appeared safe and effective overall, it seems that vitamin C's role in remedying insomnia is not as pronounced as one might hope.

Increased energy
Very little is needed—just 1/4 teaspoon lasts a long time. It helps me wake up in the mornings, and I've stopped drinking coffee. I drink a glass during the day; it quickly leaves the body, which makes it beneficial to spread out its effects. I once had a sore throat, and upon drinking it at night, the soreness disappeared, but I experienced insomnia. Therefore, I recommend taking it before 5 PM. I also give it to my children, aged 8 and 2.

Better sleep quality
I’ve been using this brand of nutritional supplements for quite some time, and it’s excellent for sleep. The quality is good and safe. Previously, I suffered from insomnia due to staying up late, but now I don’t have that issue. I recommend it highly.

Effective for insomnia
I take this once or twice daily after meals, and it works well. It seems better than other multivitamins I’ve tried. I had fears about acidity but haven’t had any issues. There's a slightly sour taste, but it’s manageable. This has definitely helped improve my severe insomnia. Overall, I’m satisfied with the value for money and will continue purchasing it.
