Some studies have shown that when used in supportive care, high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C can improve quality of life and reduce the side effects of standard cancer treatments.However, studies have also shown that antioxidants can have a downside. They may: ...
At the same time, many studies have shown that vitamin C supplementation does not decrease the number of infections in the general population. Two controlled trials have found a reduction in the duration of cold symptoms however, with up to 6-8g/day of vitamin C. However, the exact dose ne...
Maguire, MD, MSc JAMA Key Points Question Does high-dose vitamin D supplementation (2000 IU/d) help to prevent wintertime viral upper respiratory tract infections compared with standard-dose vitamin D supplementation (400 IU/d) among preschool children? Findings In this multisite randomized clinical...
Mounting evidence indicates that vitamin C has the potential to be a potent anti-cancer agent when administered intravenously and in high doses (high-dose IVC). Early phase clinical trials have confirmed safety and indicated efficacy of IVC in eradicating tumour cells of various cancer types. In ...

Is Vitamin C Safe? Vitamin C, in all formulations, has a great safety profile. Doses up to 2,000 mg per day are commonly taken and well-tolerated. Diarrhea or loose stool is not likely unless 3,000 mg per day is exceeded. However, if a large daily dose is spread ou...
Potentially, inadequate vitamin C status in MetS contributes to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, transcytosis of enteric bacteria, and an elevation of circulating LPS, which elicits a low-grade inflammatory response. By contrast, oral ingestion of large-dose vitamin C supplements results in limited...

reasons: (1) The overall safety profile of vitamin C may enable a broad use; (2) the feasibility of vitamin C administration without any dose adjustments; (3) familiarity for clinicians and patients as a therapy for cancer and in some burn units; (4) low costs to produce and administer....
In accordance with this explanation, the prolactin-lowering and extra-prolactin effects of cabergoline did not correlate with the daily dose of exogenous vitamin D, the duration of calciferol supplementation, or vitamin D intake from food. Therefore, hypovitaminosis D does not appear to impair ...
