We investigated how adding vitamin C to milk influences the growth and health of young calves, particularly those experiencing diarrhea. The study involved 48 Holstein calves, which were sorted into two groups based on their health status: healthy calves and those with diarrhea. Each calf was fed the same amount of pasteurized milk and monitored until they reached 74 days of age.
Calves that received vitamin C showed an impressive increase in weight by weaning—74.3 kg compared to 72.2 kg for those without vitamin C. Additionally, calves treated with vitamin C demonstrated improved blood antioxidant levels, suggesting better overall health. Notably, calves suffering from diarrhea benefitted significantly from the vitamin C, needing fewer days of medication for treatment compared to those who did not receive the supplement.
The research highlights that vitamin C can play a critical role in supporting the health of calves during episodes of diarrhea. This is especially relevant for those that faced even mild cases early in life, as they seemed to gain the most benefits from the supplementation. Overall, it appears that vitamin C can positively impact both growth and health in calves suffering from diarrhea.

We explored the effectiveness of a short course of oral ranitidine compared to probiotics in treating toddler's diarrhea. In a carefully designed trial, 40 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: those receiving ranitidine, those taking probiotics with vitamin C, and a placebo group.
Our main focus was to see if any of these options could reduce the frequency of stools and improve their consistency after ten days of treatment. While the results showed that oral ranitidine outperformed probiotics in managing toddler's diarrhea, the role of vitamin C was less clear.
It's important to highlight that in this study, the probiotics were combined with vitamin C, making it difficult to isolate its individual effects on diarrhea. Overall, we found that ranitidine was more effective than the probiotics, but we can't confidently say how vitamin C contributed to the outcomes. We recommend further studies to investigate these treatments in more detail.

Recommended for mega ease of opening the container, and there's no burden on the stomach when you drink. The time-release formulation contains a 1000mg combination that works well. I took one tablet at an hourly rate, and thankfully, I didn't experience any stomach aches or diarrhoea. The tablets are large but smooth, making them easy to swallow with a bit of care regarding their orientation.

Not suitable for me

I tried this [sustained-release] vitamin C, thinking it was a bargain at 1000 mg for a bottle of 250 tablets from NOW, an established American brand. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for my family. Swallowing it caused irritation in my stomach and intestines, resulting in diarrhoea. After many attempts, it consistently caused stomach pain, so I won't repurchase.

Strong stomach reaction

Cheap though ... I'm sorry. For someone like me who has a sensitive stomach, it was too stimulating, resulting in an upset stomach and diarrhoea. Despite this adverse reaction, the cost performance (COSPA) is excellent. I may try another product instead.

Gradual impact noted

It’s a sustained-release product that gradually dissolves in the stomach. I had diarrhoea when taking one tablet after each meal without realising the accumulation was happening. For those who want to adhere to specific nutritional therapy guidelines, it may work well.

Effective dosage
The quantity I received is sufficient for three months. The small pills work well for me, effectively relieving diarrhoea several times.

Essential supplement

This has become a mandatory supplement for me. Initially, I didn't gauge my intestinal tolerance well and drank too much, leading to diarrhoea. Now, I've figured out the appropriate dose and feel much better. Some find the large tablets challenging to drink, but I've had no issues.
