Vitamin C
Also known as: Ascorbic acid, ascorbate
A water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. Essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and iron absorption. The adrenal glands contain some of the highest vitamin C concentrations in the body, and levels are depleted during chronic stress. Some practitioners use higher-dose vitamin C for adrenal support, though evidence for this specific indication is limited.

Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Vitamin C work?
Acts as an electron donor in enzymatic reactions including collagen hydroxylation, carnitine synthesis, and catecholamine production (dopamine to noradrenaline conversion in the adrenals). As an antioxidant, neutralises free radicals and regenerates vitamin E. Supports immune cell function including neutrophil chemotaxis and lymphocyte proliferation.
