Vitamin C alleviates cold sores
Topical treatment of recurrent mucocutaneous herpes with ascorbic acid-containing solution.
Most Relevant Research
We investigated how an ascorbic acid-based solution could help treat recurrent cold sores, also known as mucocutaneous herpes. This study was carefully designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which helps ensure the results are reliable and trustworthy.
Participants used a strong solution of Ascoxal, rich in vitamin C, applied to their cold sores multiple times on the first day of the outbreak. We monitored various symptoms daily, including the severity of scabs, redness, and blisters, comparing the experiences of those using the vitamin C solution to a placebo group.
Our findings were promising: the active treatment resulted in fewer days with scabbing and less severe symptoms overall. Moreover, those using the vitamin C solution showed reduced persistence of scabs compared to the placebo group, along with a lower frequency of detected herpes virus after treatment.
In conclusion, this brief course of vitamin C treatment appears to have significant clinical benefits against cold sores, opening the door for future research on more extensive and frequent treatment regimes.

Vitamin C aids immune function
The clinical course of interstitial pneumonia alias chronic fatigue syndrome under the control of megadose vitamin C infusion system with dehydroepiandrosterone-cortisol annex.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how a combination of megadose vitamin C infusions and other treatments might help manage chronic fatigue syndrome, particularly in the context of interstitial pneumonia. Our findings were based on nearly a decade of treating patients, allowing us to gather valuable insights.
We observed that the long-term use of this treatment system significantly reduced the risk of pneumonia recurrence. It also appeared to help prevent the emergence of certain cancers in older patients suffering from interstitial pneumonia. Surprisingly, we found a link between interstitial pneumonia and an increased risk of depression, likely driven by prolonged glucocorticoid use.
While some patients showed promise under this treatment, those battling both interstitial pneumonia and depression responded less favorably. We suggested that increasing the amount of dehydroepiandrosterone in the treatment could be beneficial. Throughout our experience, we noted that the characteristics of chronic fatigue syndrome align closely with those of interstitial pneumonia, arguing against the notion that they should be viewed as separate conditions.
Overall, our approach not only alleviated inflammation but did not suppress the fibrotic processes in the long run. We made modifications to the treatment to lower the risks of vascular complications. The main strength of our treatment lies in creating a hormonal environment that helps tackle immune deficiencies using vitamin C, which faces lower resistance in the body compared to steroid treatments.

Vitamin C reduces cold severity
Vitamin C reduces the severity of common colds: a meta-analysis.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how vitamin C affects the severity of common colds through a comprehensive review of available studies. By including only randomized, placebo-controlled trials where participants received at least 1 gram of vitamin C daily, we aimed to investigate both the overall duration of colds and the intensity of symptoms experienced.
Our analysis found that vitamin C significantly reduced the severity of cold symptoms by about 15%. Interestingly, it appears that the benefits are more pronounced for those experiencing severe symptoms compared to mild ones. In specific comparisons, vitamin C didn’t substantially affect the duration of mild symptoms but had a notable impact on how long severe symptoms lasted.
This insight is crucial, as the common cold often leads to absenteeism at work and school, with more severe symptoms playing a key role in this setback. By highlighting vitamin C's greater effectiveness against intense cold symptoms, we suggest that future research should continue to look into how this vitamin can be utilized in managing cold severity.

Vitamin C alleviates food poisoning
Vitamin C alleviates acute enterocolitis in Campylobacter jejuni infected mice.
Most Relevant Research
To explore the effects of vitamin C on food poisoning caused by Campylobacter jejuni, we conducted a study using mice specifically bred to develop a condition similar to human campylobacteriosis. Mice were treated with synthetic vitamin C in their drinking water starting four days before they were infected with the bacteria. Our goal was to see if this treatment could lessen the severity of their symptoms.
Over the course of our research, we found that the mice receiving vitamin C had lower levels of the bacteria in their intestines. They also experienced less severe inflammation and other symptoms associated with infections. Interestingly, the benefits of vitamin C extended beyond just the intestines; we noticed reduced inflammatory responses in other organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs.
This suggests that vitamin C could be a promising option for both preventing and treating acute campylobacteriosis. Our findings highlight the potential health benefits of this vitamin and its role in managing foodborne illnesses like those triggered by Campylobacter jejuni.

Leg cramps treatment comparison
Calcium and magnesium status in pregnant women. A comparison between treatment with calcium and vitamin C in pregnant women with leg cramps.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of vitamin C on leg cramps in a group of 60 pregnant women through a double-blind trial. Participants received either calcium or vitamin C (1 g twice daily) as treatment. Our observations revealed that there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two treatment groups.
Notably, 14 patients experienced complete relief from symptoms, while 27 reported significant improvement regardless of which treatment they received. Unfortunately, 17 participants found their symptoms unchanged, and only two noticed an increase in leg cramps during the treatment period.
Throughout the study, we measured serum levels of total and ionized calcium, total magnesium, and albumin, but these parameters did not show significant changes in either treatment group. We also didn’t identify any biochemical differences when comparing the effectiveness of vitamin C and calcium for alleviating cramps.
Ultimately, our findings suggest that vitamin C may not be an effective solution for leg cramps in pregnant women, as both treatments yielded similar results with minimal biochemical changes.

I've used this for ten years. After my grandson was born, I suffered terrible leg cramps that woke me nightly. I started taking Trace Mineral's Power Pak each morning. The result? I’ve experienced leg cramps only once or twice in ten years. I hope this helps others as it has helped me.

Vitamin C mitigates flu pneumonia
A new mechanism of vitamin C effects on A/FM/1/47(H1N1) virus-induced pneumonia in restraint-stressed mice.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the effects of vitamin C on pneumonia caused by the influenza virus, specifically the H1N1 strain, in mice under stress. The study found that when exposed to restraint stress, the mice experienced increased mortality and more severe pneumonia symptoms.
However, by giving them oral vitamin C at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg, we observed a significant reduction in these severe outcomes. Vitamin C seemed to modulate the expression of certain genes related to the immune response, such as MAVS and IRF3, and increased the expression of NF-κB, which plays a key role in the body's antiviral defense.
Our research suggested that vitamin C's protective effects might stem from its ability to inhibit excess cortisol production in the adrenal gland, which is often elevated due to stress. By lowering cortisol levels, vitamin C may help reduce susceptibility to influenza infections, making it a potential ally during the flu season, especially for those experiencing stress.
Through these findings, we highlighted a new mechanism for how vitamin C can be beneficial during influenza infections, particularly for those who are feeling overwhelmed.

My parents love them and swear by these power paks! I am not fond of them as they do not suit my stomach, but I order them for my mum and dad, who profess their effectiveness. They keep us healthy during cold and flu season and provide ample energy throughout the day, consumed in water every morning.
