Top Medical Research Studies

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.

Ranitidine outperforms probiotics
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.

Large doses manageable
These tablets are fantastic for achieving larger vitamin C doses without causing diarrhoea. I take three throughout the day for maximum benefit.

Healthy recovery aid
I find this product immensely beneficial for my health. By taking one pill as I sense a cold, I recover quickly, avoiding worsening symptoms. Unlike other supplements, I’ve never faced diarrhoea with this one.

No diarrhea with sustained-release
I sought effective vitamin C, giving it to my family without issues. Although I initially experienced slight diarrhoea with other dosages, the sustained-release version has worked effectively for two weeks without side effects.

Sustained release vitamin C allows stable absorption over time, preventing excess from being excreted as waste and avoiding diarrhoea. It maintains vitamin C levels effectively, offering a cost-efficient alternative to standard forms.

Effective against colds
This supplement works wonders. At the first hint of illness, I take 1000 mg along with zinc, and in two days, I'm cold-free. The sole side effect was diarrhoea, which I managed.

Ineffective vitamin C
I thought natural foods offered better absorption, but despite taking 6 tablets daily, I still face inadequate vitamin C levels and only experience diarrhoea. This seems to be a physical issue for me.
