However, the high intake of vitamin C required to counteract the fall in concentration after infection (gram doses), or even simply to help reduce the risk of infection…/… may be difficult to achieve when the data show that people already often fail to reach the current RDA for vitamin C (25–90 mg/day), depending on age, and that an inadequate vitamin C intake is already more widespread than many people realize.” 3 Ascorbic acid is special because it can transfer a single electron, owing to the resonance-stabilized nature of its own radical ion, called semidehydroascorbate.

Dopamine beta-hydroxylase participates in the biosynthesis of norepinephrine from dopamine. [124] [125] Humans are in a small minority of mammals that can’t produce their own vitamin C; it’s also water soluble and can’t be stored in the body. This means it must be regularly supplied by the diet. 1

The dose of NaAscorbate used in this pilot study was less than that used in experimental animals [ 16]. However, it was chosen as a first cautious step in a program dedicated to the methodical and systematic investigation of mega-dose NaAscorbate therapy in sepsis. The dose was also based on previous experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a patient had been treated with 60 g of NaAscorbate locally on compassionate grounds. Such patient had shown improvements in vasopressor support and no side effect. 14 Intervention Peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase amidates peptide hormones by removing the glyoxylate residue from their c-terminal glycine residues. This increases peptide hormone stability and activity.
