Vitamin C is supposed to affect the adrenals quite strongly. It is supposed to boost adrenal function.
Well my wife has been having colds quite frequently this year as she mixes with lots of babies.
She decided to try higher dose Vit C usage to stop the colds and it seemed to help. She would take 5 x 1000mg tablets on the first day and then usually 3 x tablets per day over the next 4 days. This has gone on now for most of this year on and off. So it hasn't been constant, but she has been having these colds pretty frequently.
Anyway she noticed she was getting an inflamed facial skin and spots recently. I noticed her face was much more shiny. So this week she got another cold, but this time she decided not to continue with the Vit C usage.
Her skin has calmed down a lot and is back to normal. Her cold has also gone pretty quickly.
So while i think the Vit C was helpful at the start, i think it has in some way prolonged her cold spells and given her an inflamed skin.
Can anyone comment on what has actually happened here. I am thinking the Vit C has affected her adrenal function in some way. So causing a spike in testosterone output and bringing out the spots.
Any insights would be appreciated.
