Ascorbic acid enhances NK cell growth
We investigated how ascorbic acid influences the growth of natural killer (NK) cells in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. After isolating NK cells from 29 CAD patients and treating them with various stimulatory factors, we found that ascorbic acid significantly increased their proliferation ability in 28 out of 29 samples.

Interestingly, we also discovered a negative correlation between the patients' serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and NK cell proliferation upon cytokine stimulation. This suggests that while ascorbic acid enhances NK cell growth, LDH might indicate their immune response capability.

Vitamin C may help prevent stroke
We investigated the potential protective effects of vitamin C on stroke risk, drawing on data from a robust two-sample Mendelian randomization study. This research compared genetic predictors of nutrient intake to stroke outcomes, focusing particularly on the intake of various vitamins, including vitamin C.

Our findings revealed that higher levels of vitamin C are linked to a reduced risk of cardioembolic stroke, with a noteworthy odds ratio suggesting that this vitamin could play a significant protective role. Specifically, when we looked at the statistics, the odds ratio was 0.759, indicating a promising association with stroke prevention. This evidence positions vitamin C as a potential target for public health strategies aimed at reducing stroke incidence.

However, while the results regarding vitamin C are encouraging, we must approach them with caution. The overall design of the study limits our conclusions, suggesting that while vitamin C appears beneficial, further research is necessary to fully understand its effects on cardiovascular health.

Vitamin C may lower blood pressure
We conducted a study to evaluate the effects of a vitamin C supplement combined with a hawthorn beverage on blood pressure and oxidative stress among workers exposed to heat. This involved a 40-day cluster-randomized controlled trial where participants were split into two groups: one received the vitamin C and hawthorn drink, while the other was provided with slightly salted water.

Throughout the study, we measured blood pressure and levels of a specific oxidative stress marker at different intervals. Notably, we observed significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among those who consumed the vitamin C and hawthorn beverage compared to the control group. This suggests that the combination may help manage elevated blood pressure linked to heat exposure.

The findings highlight the potential role of vitamin C, especially when paired with other beneficial compounds in the hawthorn beverage, in combating oxidative stress and promoting cardiovascular health in individuals working in challenging environmental conditions.

An irreplaceable product that should be in every home! At the first sign of a cold, I take sodium ascorbate and give it to my child, and it has helped several times this autumn. After feeling unwell, I took sodium ascorbate and felt better after a short rest. This supplement has effectively prevented the progression of illness.

A powerful form of vitamin! Vitamin C aids iron absorption, wound healing, and collagen synthesis, which strengthens blood vessels. A deficiency can lead to weakness and elevated health risks, including cardiovascular disease. I consume this product daily, and I find it refreshing and pleasant to taste.

Dietary vitamins reduce aneurysm risk
We investigated how dietary intakes of vitamins C and E may influence the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection. An impressive cohort of 139,477 UK Biobank participants provided us with detailed dietary information.

Over 12.5 years, we found that higher consumption of these vitamins was associated with a significant reduction in aortic events. Specifically, participants with high vitamin C and E intakes had lower risks of developing aortic aneurysm, especially in those over 60 or with existing health concerns.

This study highlights the potential for dietary strategies to lower aortic aneurysm risk in vulnerable groups.

Antioxidants show promise for FGR
This systematic review focused on the potential effects of antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, on cardiovascular health in cases of fetal growth restriction (FGR). We assessed various studies that examined how these treatments might enhance cardiac and vascular outcomes in affected individuals.

Our exploration revealed that a majority of the studies indicated some level of cardiovascular protection following antioxidant intervention. Specifically, 71% of the studies noted improvements in at least one of the cardiac or vascular parameters in growth-restricted offspring. Vitamin C, along with other antioxidants, was highlighted as part of several approaches to reduce oxidative stress, which is known to contribute to cardiovascular issues.

However, it's essential to note that the specific impact of vitamin C alone was not extensively distinguished from its combined effects with other antioxidants. This ambiguity makes it challenging to pin down its isolated benefits.

Overall, while antioxidant treatments present a promising avenue for addressing cardiovascular deficits associated with FGR, crucial gaps in research remain, preventing us from determining the most effective strategies for clinical use.
