Vitamin C's impact on bloating
Associations Between Dietary Vitamin C, Serum Ascorbic Acid, and Genotype and Premenstrual Symptoms.
Significant but complex associations
We aimed to explore how different measures of vitamin C might influence premenstrual symptoms, particularly bloating. In this study, we analyzed data from 555 women aged 20 to 29 years who reported on various symptoms associated with their menstrual cycles. We looked at their dietary intake of vitamin C, measured serum ascorbic acid levels, and assessed genetic factors through DNA testing.
Our findings suggest that higher vitamin C status is linked to increased appetite changes and symptoms like bloating and swelling during the premenstrual phase. While we observed associations between vitamin C levels and these symptoms, it's important to note that our study didn't isolate the effect of vitamin C from other dietary influences. Therefore, while there's a connection between vitamin C and bloating, we cannot conclusively say that vitamin C alone is definitive in relief.
Overall, this research opens the door to understanding how nutrition, particularly vitamin C intake, may shape our experiences with premenstrual symptoms. However, it also highlights the complexity of diet's role in our health.

No bloating issues
The best part is the substantial content. High doses of vitamin C can lead to bloating, but this NOW Foods product does not seem to cause that for me.

Effective with bloating
The grains are large, but I prefer this supplement as I want to take 3,000 capsules of vitamin C daily, especially during a cold. Japanese supplements only provide a maximum of 500 capsules, which can cause bloating when I take too many. I sometimes open the capsule and mix it into my protein shake.

Bloating advice given
I've been taking these vitamins for over a month and find the quality excellent. During breaks, I take them at the first sign of fatigue or cold, as it helps instantly. A large-scale study values vitamin C for muscle maintenance and fighting colds. However, if taking this vitamin leads to bloating, I recommend reducing the dosage to 250-500 mg, especially since it's poorly absorbed with sugar. Always consult with a doctor to adjust intake based on blood tests. I fully recommend this product!
