On Our Supplements by Brand Wall:The Right Amount of Vitamin C Vitamin C may help prevent some forms of arthritis, but too much of it may worsen other kinds. Here’s how to find a happy medium. If you’ve been loading up on vitamin C to reduce your risk of inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or skipping C entirely to prevent accelerated joint damage from osteoarthritis (OA), you can relax. The USDA’s recommendation of 75 milligrams (mg) per day for women and 90 mg per day for men remains the golden mean for vitamin C consumption. Questions regarding the appropriate vitamin C amount for people with arthritis arose in 2004 when two back-to-back studies reported decidedly contradictory results. The first, an animal study at Duke University, Durham, N.C., found that very high levels of vitamin C triggered a protein that causes bone spurs, accelerating joint damage and pain in subjects who had OA. The second study, conducted in Great Britain, determined that people who had low levels of vitamin C were three times more likely to develop RA than people whose diets included foods rich in vitamin C.
Though the study reports reflected both ends of the C spectrum, they show that getting the right amount of vitamin C is key for both preventing inflammatory arthritis and maintaining healthy joints with OA. Without a doubt, vitamin C benefits most people. So keep a happy balance of C-rich foods, including red peppers, strawberries and citrus fruits, in your diet. carries all the latest vitamins and internalAdrenal burnout, reduced immune function, and increased inflammation are just a few of the side effects caused by a lack of vitamin C.

It is a well established fact that gluten can contribute to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Most doctors measure for iron and vitamin D levels as part of their standard laboratory follow up in patients with celiac disease. Unfortunately, only looking at iron and vitamin D is not comprehensive enough because nutritional deficiencies (and in this case – vitamin C) can reduce a patients ability to heal and respond to a gluten free diet. Remember, if you are taking certain medications, you may also be blocking the effects of this powerful nutrient. Some of the most commom vitamin C blockers and disruptors are listed below: Food sources of vitamin C are essential.
Keep in mind that with over farming of soil, environmental pollutants, use of growth hormones, pesticides, etc have all contributed to a lower level of vitamin C concentration in many foods. The following is a list of some excellent food based sources: Vitamin C is a potent immune modulator and it helps with antioxidant function. That means it is crucial for calming down an overactive immune response as well as protecting cells from ongoing inflammatory damage. Vitamin C helps the adrenal glands make epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These hormones are vital for reducing inflammation and regulating the stress response. When these functions falter, many doctors refer to it as ADRENAL BURNOUT.
