Vitamin C alleviates anxiety in autism
We set out to explore how vitamin C influences anxiety-like behaviors in a model of autism caused by valproic acid (VPA). In our study, we used fourteen female rats that underwent specific treatments to induce autism in their offspring. After a period of observation, we treated male pups with daily injections of vitamin C for four weeks. Then, we assessed their behavior to see if there were any changes in anxiety levels.

Our findings suggested that vitamin C significantly reduced anxiety-like behaviors in these rats. This outcome is particularly promising considering that autism often brings associated anxiety. By measuring various brain oxidative stress markers, we also noted improvements in mental functioning and motor skills after vitamin C treatment. Overall, our work underscores the potential benefits of vitamin C as a supportive treatment for anxiety-related issues in autism, indicating a pathway for future research and therapeutic strategies.

Reduced anxiety
I adore the company Now Foods. Vitamin C is vital for several enzyme functions and the immune system, offering antioxidant effects. It aids in collagen formation, iron absorption, wound healing, and bone and teeth growth. Numerous studies indicate that regular intake can shorten the duration of the common cold, alleviate anxiety, lower chronic disease risk and blood pressure, and help prevent gout attacks. I highly recommend it.
