Vitamin C has similar cardiovascular effects to exercise

Researchers from the University of Colorado, Boulder found that a daily intake of 500 mg of Vitamin C improved blood vessel function in overweight and obese adults.

They had one group take 500mg of vitamin C daily, while the other group performed daily aerobic exercises. The group that took vitamin c showed similar cardiovascular effects as walking exercise did in this population.

Now ask yourself why government recommendations only suggest 40 mg of vitamin C per day when thousands of studies show remarkable benefits with doses around 1,000mg per day?

My preferred way to take vitamin c is ascorbic acid in powdered form. It is the cheapest way
of getting vitamin c and will last you a long time. I like to mix it in smoothies and put it in water sipping it slowly. I like taking 1,000mg 3x/day

Camu powder is also my favorite. It contains more vitamin c than any food that I know of. It is more expensive than plain ascorbic acid but comes with all the cofactors and bioflavonoids.
