Vitamin C may be one of the most underrated nutrients in clinical practice.

Humans are one of the few species that cannot produce their own vitamin C, yet it supports hundreds of biological reactions every day - including collagen production, antioxidant recycling, immune function, neurotransmitter synthesis, carnitine production, histamine regulation, DNA protection, adrenal function, iron absorption, and defense against oxidative stress.

Many people consume enough to prevent deficiency, but not enough to meet increased biological demands. During periods of stress, injury, or infection, vitamin C requirements may rise substantially.

As Dr. Robert Cathcart observed that bowel tolerance often reflects the body's changing need for vitamin C, making gradual dose titration an important clinical consideration.

The Nutrigenomics Clinical Database helps practitioners identify genetic pathways where vitamin C plays a critical role, including collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, neurotransmitter metabolism, histamine regulation, and cellular resilience... supporting more personalized orthomolecular care.
