Latest Science On Vitamin C Is Damning! 

DR brad keep doing you and giving outside perspective around all these, because god knows this is all confusing. and well you are doctor , but even then even if you are a doctor medicine is soooooooooooooo complex and now even more.

The mammals that produce Vitamin C from simple glucose produce Vitamin C in their tissues at the rate of 8,000-10,000mgs./day (adjusted equivalent for humans) I believe do so and Not to go beyond tissue saturation. So how to explain humans achieving tissue saturation at so much lower levels ?? Something doesn't quite compute. Something doesn't quite jive. No matter. Dr. Stanfield comfortably accepts the results.

Is food and Vegetable we cook have same level of various Vitamin or it will degrade after cooking?

Yes, Dr, those Keto gurus are snake-oil salesmen

@Ernesto Mieses It doesn't have to be confusing. Read the book by Dr. Thomas Levy "Curing the Incurable" That should open your eyes, it may even put tears in them as Dr. Levy's and mine.

Instead, you could have taken a teaspoon of all purpose white flour. LOL 🤣

@Ayo How do you know it? Please provide evidences.

Is it ascorbic acid vitamin c?

​@@DirtyDemon917 Yes, it is Vitamin C. Linus Pauling only took ascorbic acid. He explained why in his 1986 book "How to Live Longer and Feel Better". In that book he explained his reasoning behind taking the various supplements he did. Some of the important Vitamin C research that has come after Pauling died has been from the Linus Pauling Institute (at the University of Oregon State). Some of it contradicts his findings, they make a case for why large doses are not beneficial.

In experiments with mice vutamin C also prolonged their lives quiet significantly. The earlier treatment started the better was the effect. And it seems that vit C is less potent to promote cancer growth than many other antioxidants in high doses (vit. E, NAC, and others)

My father lived to the ripe old age of 91 on what most people would consider a terrible diet: lots of sugar with every meal, a diet of bread and jam, lots of high carbohydrate processed foods, and he never took vitamin C or any other vitamins. So should we praise sugar and all the other junk he ate as promoting longevity? Yet that is what you are doing with vitamin C.

nutrients are not drugs. Just giving vitamin c is dumb and worthless. People in these studies should be given every single vitamin, mineral, amino acid and essential fatty acid known to man then be observed. Doing one single nutrient is wothless and these studies will always be bad due to this. They always just do a single , synthetic low dose vitamin in studies. then say it doesnt work , then push big pharma drugs. It's obvious. Dumb on purpose. Deceptive destruction of truth vitatlity. My life was saved by God with natural medicine and nutrition. Multivitamin, fish oil, extra zinc , copper , B1 BENFOTIAMINE FOR STRESS, b3 niacinamide, collagen, electrolytes, vitamin c, etc... My entire life is changing. Almost died last year. Mold, gut infections, lyme, Sibo, Candida, Severe nutrient deficiencies, and skin and bones. Now I am healing. Thank you God.

Vitamin C isn't the problem, but isolating ascorbic acid from an entire vitamin c complex is the problem. If you want vitamin C, eat foods that have the entire complex because taking ascorbic acid in a supplement is just shortening your life and isn't 'true vitamin C'

I would watch out on how your taking vitamin c as it is an acid and might affect your teeth. Make sure everyone is brushing there teeth.

as a vet you should know 99% mammals make vit c g/kg daily but not humans so why not

​@@edoc431wait how much? 1g/kg?

Vitamin c as in ascorbic acid? Or whole food vitamin c?

@@NoName-bt6xd ascorbic acid. I used ester C for several years, and latter switched to Doctors best vitamin C. Both work fine.

I'm with you..

I love your comments, @@whiteninja9481 - you're absolutely right, this A.I. doctor really has no clue what he's talking about.

I just looked him up you can too,, he is not a real doctor he has is actually at the level of nurse practitioner in New Zealand. so I'm not sure why he calls him self Dr. bc he doesn't have a PhD either lol.

I suspect that some studies are designed to fail.

@@MsKalaskul bingo.

Studies can also be false. Look at current events. I agree individual tolerances matter bigly. And so does your detox genome. If dirty, it must be cleaned or disease takes hold based on your genome vulnerability. (Dirty Genes book) A clean diet means a clean detox pathway, unless yours is near or perfect... than you are much stronger in constitution than the average person. Only 3% of humanity has a perfect detox genome...

I take 25 grams per day fighting heart disease, but my skin is the best it has been in 50yrs.

Pauling came out in the 50s Not 70s with vitamin C

I stopped taking vitamin C about 20 years ago and haven't had a cold since. So does that prove anything?

@@johnbowden3537 No, nothing whatever. But then, four years ago we rushed off to NL for a funeral without my Vits. There we all embraced an old family friend who, unknown to us, had caught COVID at the local Tilburg Carnival. Ja, we got it too, a mild cold in my case (first in many, many years). So, then back home and to Vit C, and no more sickness of any kind. No, it proves nothing, but think I’ll keep taking my Vitamin C, plus D3.

​@@kathleenking47 Bob said he started taking Vitamin C back in 1985 😖😣

@@jarichards99utube pharma sells vit C too what r u on

There have been plenty of very intelligent people throughout history who have been mistaken in their conclusions. Which part of Stanfield's presentation do you consider wrong?

Thanks for your comment. So far, the human clinical trials have been disappointing. As per the evidence pyramid, randomized controlled trials are far high up than opinions or case studies 🤷🏼‍♂️

MDs are not known for their expertises on vitamins. they are skillfull in man made drugs.

Sad but the "experts" are so wrong on this. It makes me wonder if there is an agenda involved.

Don't even need that

Not to mention how it improves lipid profiles.

Unfortunately, Vitamin C supplements likely worsens athletic performance: "Research findings: Do not directly improve performance; appear to hinder some physiological and physical exercise-induced adaptations" ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/ExerciseAndAthleticPerformance-HealthProfessional/ When you exercise, you cause an inflammatory and oxidative state which is a good thing in the short term. It signals to the body that it needs to adapt and become more efficient. If you can anti-oxidants such as vitamin C supplements during or after a workout, you interfere with that response and blunt it, thereby blunting the positive effects of exercise...

@@DrBradStanfield Thank you very much for your reply. I apologize, please let me clarify - I was specifically talking about increased fatty acid oxidation to produce ATP (as can only happen in the mitochondria). Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of carnitine which is required to shuttle most fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta oxidation. Further evidence for increased fatty acid oxidation comes from mouse models wherein supplemented mice also exhibited increased levels of PPAR-alpha, a protein that regulates fat metabolism by increasing uptake and utilization. In my attempts to maximize my mitochondrial number, size, and efficiency, I want to give my body its best chance for positive adaptation in addition to lots of zone 2 exercise. Patrick also addresses the studies reporting blunted effects from exercise. I greatly appreciate all you do for scientific communication. I am not trying to be confrontational, but just want to ensure we're all considering all the evidence.

Absolutely John, I enjoy these types of conversations. The concern I have is that for basically every supplement, one can do some mechanistic reasoning based on cell or mice data that sounds convincing. In my view, what matters is the human clinical studies that investigate firm endpoints. So far when looking at cancer, diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular disease, liver, etc there are no benefits from Vitamin C supplements. We also have concerning data as outlined above about blunting the positive effects of exercise. My overall point is that there's no strong evidence of benefit, we get plenty from out diet, so why use money to buy vitamin C supplements?

@@DrBradStanfield Lowest all cause mortality was found around 80 micromolars circulating blood level of vitamin c based upon a meta analysis of 8 studies according to Dr. Lustgarten. Dr. Lustgarten further stated that at least one study suggested that 1000mg of vitamin c per day was typically needed to reach 80 micromolar. That's way higher than the RDA. That's achievable through food, but it's not all that easy to get there. Now it could be that people that have high circulating vit c are doing other things that are causing them to live longer and it may not be the vitamin c itself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNcfDzhXuRw.html

is there not an absorption problem when taking large doses of vitamin C ?

Amazing! The dosage in the trial mentioned in the video in a measly 120 mg of Vit C in the form of ascorbic acid. This dosage is way too low to have any significant effects.

For bones one of the best things you could do is to be on K2-MK7 and D3 as K2 puts calcium in your bones and teeth not mention pulling calcium out of the soft tissues. My dental health is unbelievable as well. Another interesting thing is how K2-MK7 kills about 95% of the bad bacteria in your mouth a source of heart disease which I'm fighting and winning. I'm on a high dose of K2-MK7 a good read on K2-MK7 is the book "The Calcium Paradox"

You should be on vitamin K2-MK7 and D3 their the real workhorse of bones and joints. I would suggest 6-1200 mcg of K2-MK7 from Nutrizing. K2-MK7 pulls out calcium from the joints and soft tissues.

@@HiepPhuong_ca I'm not buying Brad here on this. Check out Dr. Thomas Levy's book "Curing the Incurable " Dr Levy is one of the world's leading authorities on Vitamin C. As he points out there are many sources of oxalate.

Some of his coverage is misleading. Resveratrol, for example, has a whole host of health benefits. All he did was explain that it isn’t a sirtuin activator for specifically longevity. But it has many anti-inflammatory and protective evidence from countless other studies.

@@glycoboy Not only. You missed the most important part when he said that resveratrol increases blood cholesterol massively .

@Ahmed N nicotinamide riboside

hopefully you are saving a lot of money :-) Diet, exercise, sleep, life purpose, meditation, socializing are the crucial aspects of health. Supplements such as creatine, collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid offer further benefits

this channel has become garbage, shame since Dr. Brad had/has a lot of potential

The is no formulation to vitamin C. It's a simple molecule.

Fake study sponsored by big Pharma

I also watch a BBC documentary that suggests that the antioxidant effect simply does not exist and there's no reason to take antioxidants. There is still reason to take multiple vitamins, vitamin C vitamin E, etc for the particular benefit that they provide, but do not take it because they have an antioxidant effect, it doesn't work.

@Random Guy nope, just got it for a friend and me, took 4500g a day for a week, some amazing things happened, we were field workers st the time, we weren't as tired, we could extend our work time for an hour or 2 and didn't feel like slowing down, but we weren't feeling amazing. Just normal, and didn't realize we were still going.

@@colinmaharaj bcc??? mainstream media ????? big phrama ??? oh man, do you really still believe in them?????

@@andredias7103 you mean BBC not bcc lol, actually they were interviewing a guy doing his own research, he came pretty good showing anti oxidants do not protect against oxidative stress. He dealt directly with antioxidant researchers, who were shocked by their own results., Then they pulled the video from the net, citing it will affect the antioxidant industry.

Big Pharma is this fake doctors boss that’s my guess

happens far too often because of videos like this. smh

in these studies, something tells me that it wasn't a mistake that they used such low dosages.. it was designed to fail.. accidentally on purpose.

Look at the studies what happens on animals with injuries. When they’re injured they produces more vitamin C than before they got injured. So why should not we eat some more vitamin c if we have an injury..?

Watch out for your teeth though . The acidity can hurt them over time.

if that's true you could get compensation for your hypothesis in the case it was verified

@@thomasmuller1850 sodium ascorbate

Actually when combined with lysine (ascorbic acid by itself - not bound to a mineral) in the right amounts will clear clogged arteries by healing the damage to the cell walls and the lysine will remove the plaques. The combination forms "cross link' collagen to patch the damaged cell wall so the body doesn't need to patch it any longer with plaque. The plaque is there to keep you from dying but it is supposed to be temporary. When the nutrients are not available more plaque forms and this continues until something gets stuck in it.

Just out of curiosity which one do you use I need a good one I usually use one from the vitamin shop but I would love to try other brands for experience wise it wouldn't hurt ty

You're probably taking fake vitamin c(ascorbic acid)

VitC has been found to help blood flow which is why before ops we are told to stop taking it.Warfarin rat poison is preferred to stop clotting How is that so ?

Which one do you use if I may ask?

Aloe vera serum is probably better than vitamin c serum

Theres a brand called Sheagoldco they use stabilised vitamin c in their face serum

you should do both. eat and apply topically

I completely agree with you! I've been using it for over 6 years and have had wonderful results with it. I call it my 'facelift in a bottle'!

Absolutely. At first sign of a cold I take a big dose, maybe up to 2000mg spread out, within a day I have no cold symtoms!!

I can't agree more (based on experience).

​@@errolmagill1611 this is the key for me too. Take it at the first instance of sneezing, scratchy throat or general malaise. Yes. By this time your body _is_ infected. Thus logically, vitamin C does not _prevent_ infection but I've found that taking it at the right time, helps considerably. It _significantly shortens_ the duration of an infection.

@@naightengale101 makes you wonder about these trials and how they where conducted; and are they being done honestly 🤔

@@errolmagill1611 That's exactly how we intake and it really makes a difference. Many people reports the same. I know it's not a placebo.

Zinc + Andrographis + Odorless Garlic is so much more effective.

Exactly

Are you 40yrs old or older? If so have you had a CAC Score done and if so do you have calcium deposits in your arteries? If you do guess what? According to Dr. Thomas Levy Cardiologist you have arterial scurvy. And if your dental health isn't great as Dr. Levy puts it you could have a river of C and it wouldn't be enough. Of course he just laughs at the RDA requirement. Read his book "Curing the Incurable" It opened my eyes...I'm fighting heart disease and winning 6 grams 3x/day. Thx to Dr Linus Pauling and Dr Levy...

@@lolerie I also take zinc and eat garlic often so that may also contribute!

​@@lolerie no it is not. vitamin c is far superior. vitamin c redox other antioxidants and we need it for collagen synthesis.

I would not call him, sir. I don’t believe he deserves the respect. Big Pharma rules.

I completely agree with you. I hope that he open his mind and do his own research with the patients, not just a copy/paste job.

​​@Ayo I would say my high dose Vitamin C has contributed to my well being! I do 18 grams/day in divided doses after finding my bowel tolerance for the Dr Linus Pauling Heart Protocol. It's working...CAC Score down 30% who wouldn't feel great with results like this and with no statins.....

@Ayo well it does, there is evidence for it, Google for further info :)

Whats ur one month update?

I love the C for my skin plus I take it orally. Both have been game changers for me.

@Random Guy it can and that is why I log all my colds when taking C for 5 years now and my colds are 41% less and last 1 to 2 days less when I do get one. I doubt a placebo effect explains that.

I could not agree with you more! I left a comment that reflects your experience. i have been using a 20% serum (which also has Hyaluronic Acid) for over 6 years and the results have been amazing! I call it my 'facelift in a bottle'.

@Random Guy for sure. People that smoke should stop smoking too

@Random Guy I like bourbon

The Effectivity of Vitamin C in Brain Injury Healing: Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in several biological processes. It helps to protect the body against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage cells and tissues. In the context of brain injury, vitamin C has been found to have several benefits. Firstly, vitamin C helps to reduce inflammation in the brain. Inflammation is a natural response to injury, but when it becomes chronic, it can cause further damage to the brain tissue. Vitamin C can help to reduce inflammation by neutralizing the pro-inflammatory cytokines that are released after a brain injury. Secondly, vitamin C plays a role in the formation of collagen, a protein that is essential for the formation and repair of tissues, including brain tissue. Collagen helps to strengthen the blood vessels in the brain, reducing the risk of further damage from trauma or stroke. Thirdly, vitamin C has been shown to improve cognitive function in TBI patients. A study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma found that high-dose vitamin C supplementation improved cognitive function in TBI patients. The researchers concluded that vitamin C could be an effective adjunct therapy in the management of TBI. Recommended Dosages of Vitamin C for Brain Injury Healing: The recommended dosage of vitamin C for brain injury healing depends on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the patient's age, weight, and overall health. In general, a dosage of 1000mg to 2000mg per day is recommended for TBI patients. However, it is important to note that high doses of vitamin C can cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider before starting vitamin C supplementation.

That’s true, as well as the fact that humans are the only mammals that don’t produce their own vitamin C. Magnesium and certain B vitamins and vitamin D get depleted with stress as well

@@stevet5549 keep it simple, get quality sleep, get sunlight on skin, deep breathing, eat healthy, exercise

dr fauci wont allow high dose studies.

What kind of skin condition did you have? And how much Vitamin C did you take every day?

I would suggest speak with a doctor and have your levels checked. If you felt better after 24hrs you may have just had fatigue or allergies and needed sleep. Also people I know who lay up for a day, then come into the work with a runny nose and just say "I'm not sick", and infect everyone.

what form of vit C do you take, the whole complex food based supplement or just ascorbic acid? i wish he had specified what was used in these studies, I'm sure it would make a difference. thank you.

why was your vitamin C depleted? Do you have a specific absorption issue? for example, have you needed operations on your bowel, etc?

You're old enough to have a Coronary Artery Calcium score if you're zero. That would be great 👍 but if you're like me, high, like 400. You can reverse it as I am using the Linus Pauling Heart Therapy, which uses high dose vitamin C with Lysine and Proline. I have reversed my 660 to 458. Said to be impossible. The CAC is a great predictor of risk for strokes and heart attacks.

​@@SET12DSP Well done👍🏼 How much dosage of vitamin C did you take and what form?

@beaudeep Thanks, I take Asorbic Acid powder to bowel tolerance 4 times per day. I take 5 grams morning, noon,afternoon, and 15 grams early evening. The 15-gram dose is well tolerated because of reduced physical activity. Your tolerance may vary. It's just not about vitamin C, which is the workhorse, but Lysine and Proline. They are Lp-a binding inhibitors. Lp-a wants to bind to the damaged exposed Lysine and Proline strands the girders of the artery wall 🧱. The Lysine and Proline are in powder form as well from BulkSupplemets off of Amazon. I buy in 1kg resealable bags. This is a substantial savings over buying in smaller quantities. I just refill my small containers. Another supplement to be on is magnesium glycinate when magnesium is up. Calcium is down. Lysine and Proline I take 8 grams per day. Magnesium glycinate 800mg. If you're really interested in this, I follow Dr. Thomas Levy, cardiologist. Author of "Stop America's # 1 Killer " Proof that the Origin of All Coronary Heart Disease is Clearly Reversible Arterial Scurvy.
