Vitamin C effects
-
Does anyone know of any more obscure mechanisms of vitamin C and its role in the body? Why would taking it (even from natural sources) worsen symptoms? In particular, autoimmune like symptoms, as my understanding is that in the bioenergetic theory autoimmunity is actually just tissue damage from stress hormones and the body's attempt to clean this mess up? I know one of the main mechanisms is its enhancement of iron absorption. In my case, ferritin is low and other iron levels are normal, so I don't understand why this would worsen symptoms, and am looking for other mechanisms.
