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.

No side effects
This particular form of vitamin C, at a dosage of 1000 mg, did not result in diarrhea, unlike other brands which made it impossible for me to leave the house. I learned that diarrhea is a common side effect of vitamin C, but this specific form, advised by others, is digestible and lacks such side effects.

This vitamin C is excellent. It is non-acidic, does not irritate my stomach, and does not cause diarrhea.

Not suitable for me
This product did not sit well with me. Although it is generally good, it caused me diarrhea. My naturopath mentioned that few people react negatively to it. This is a bioflavonoid, rather than vitamin C. I will stick to either this brand's vitamin C or seek alternatives.
