We conducted a fully decentralized clinical trial to explore the effects of vitamin C on constipation symptoms. Participants who experienced functional constipation were randomly assigned to receive either Lactobacillus with vitamin C or vitamin C alone over a two-week treatment period. The study allowed us to gather data remotely, which is quite innovative and accessible.
Looking specifically at the results from the group that received vitamin C, we observed that while there was an increase in the frequency of bowel movements compared to the control group, the isolated effect of vitamin C itself wasn't entirely clear. The combination treatment appeared to improve bowel regularity, but it was difficult to determine how much vitamin C contributed independently to these results.
Additionally, we found that about 67% of participants were diligent in tracking their bowel diary entries, which helped ensure the reliability of our findings to an extent. Yet, a significant portion of the records were not kept as scheduled, highlighting potential hurdles in data collection for decentralized trials.
Overall, our observations suggest that while vitamin C, especially when paired with Lactobacillus, may provide some benefits for those struggling with constipation, we should exercise caution before attributing all improvements solely to vitamin C.

A staple supplement in our household! I always order this high-quality, long-lasting vitamin C. I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. A great benefit is that it effectively prevents constipation. When taken at the onset of a cold, I find I recover quickly.

Resolved constipation
I take vitamin C several times a day, preferring time-release before bed. Since I increased my vitamin C intake, my constipation has been resolved, and I experience no skin issues. I never skip taking protein, magnesium, and vitamin C.

Doubtful effectiveness
A doctor recommended it to relieve constipation, and I take it with magnesium. I rate it normally as I feel magnesium is the one really working.

Increased constipation
1 people found this helpful
I am unsure about the effects. With a timely release in two stages, it quickly releases half of the vitamin C and gradually the other half over 12 hours. If I take one tablet in the morning, I will receive more vitamin C after 12 hours, with an effect lasting over 24 hours. However, my intestinal environment worsened after taking this, and constipation increased. It's not yet clear if this is the cause.
