Vitamin C alleviates anxiety in autism
We set out to explore how vitamin C influences anxiety-like behaviors in a model of autism caused by valproic acid (VPA). In our study, we used fourteen female rats that underwent specific treatments to induce autism in their offspring. After a period of observation, we treated male pups with daily injections of vitamin C for four weeks. Then, we assessed their behavior to see if there were any changes in anxiety levels.
Our findings suggested that vitamin C significantly reduced anxiety-like behaviors in these rats. This outcome is particularly promising considering that autism often brings associated anxiety. By measuring various brain oxidative stress markers, we also noted improvements in mental functioning and motor skills after vitamin C treatment. Overall, our work underscores the potential benefits of vitamin C as a supportive treatment for anxiety-related issues in autism, indicating a pathway for future research and therapeutic strategies.

Wow, this is the best-kept secret! Initially sceptical, I took a chance on this B supplement after past issues with anxiety. This one has a balanced amount of active ingredients. I have a rare blood disorder needing B vitamins, and this has transformed my life! I felt calmer, more focused, and energetic. By the third day, the tingling in my legs was fading noticeably. This stuff is incredible! If you're considering it, do it!

It really helps! I love this stuff! It has been wonderful for our household. I notice when I don’t take it, and my husband does too. We've both been on it for a year, and when we stopped for a month, he commented on feeling different. Back on it, everything returned to normal! I highly recommend it for anxiety.

I think it works. It doesn’t repeat on me, so it seems easily digested. I purchased it to help rebuild my system post-illness, and it appears to be beneficial. I feel almost like my former self and definitely feel it has positively affected my post-sickness anxiety attacks.
