In our controlled laboratory study, we aimed to investigate whether vitamin C could help prevent frozen shoulder, particularly the secondary type that often occurs after trauma or surgery. We created a shoulder contracture model using Sprague-Dawley rats, which involved immobilizing their right shoulder.
Our experimental group, consisting of eight rats, received vitamin C orally, while a control group of nine rats did not receive vitamin C. We primarily measured the thickness of the joint capsule at the shoulder using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The results were promising, indicating that vitamin C may reduce the thickening of the joint capsule linked to secondary frozen shoulder. Although we also conducted histological examinations, we did not perform statistical analysis on those findings due to variability in our cutting techniques.
This preclinical study suggests that vitamin C could be a valuable, non-invasive way to prevent secondary frozen shoulder, particularly in situations involving surgery or immobilization. However, more research is needed to determine its effects on humans and establish proper dosage guidelines.

Effective cold treatment
I appreciated how well this medication works. It's effective at the first sign of a cold. I take one up to three times during the day if I feel a cold coming or I am feeling cold. At night, I take one twice, an hour apart, and by morning, I feel perfectly fine.

Strengthened immunity
This greatly supports my immunity. I have been taking it for six months, which has boosted my body's resistance to viruses and colds. If I feel chilly outdoors, I take one capsule in the evening, which means I avoid any runny nose or cough. I highly recommend this product, as it has worked well for me.

Prevents cold onset
Although we do not take vitamin C regularly, we do so when the initial symptoms of acute respiratory infections arise or when feeling cold. This seems to help us often thwart the illness or prevent it altogether. The dosage is convenient, but be cautious with self-prescribed loading doses, as one can easily overdose. I believe vitamin C is essential in every home for dealing with colds and other ailments.
