Adventure at C: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) in Health, Disease, and Disease Treatment - A Paradigm for Nutrition Research (Recording)
Vitamin C physiology in healthy people is based on intake, intestinal absorption, tissue transport, renal excretion, and utilization. With this understanding, unexpected paths are revealed for disease treatment and prevention. Comprehensive characterization of vitamin physiology in healthy humans is a key foundation for intake recommendations for vitamin C. A similar strategy can be used for many vitamins, for intake recommendations and application to disease.
