Significant fatigue relief is the newest benefit of intravenous vitamin C
I try not to go to my soapbox too often. But sometimes, I can’t help it.
It’s insane to me how blatantly the mainstream ignores (or tries to hide) the value of using intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA) to fight various cancers.
But at least IAA is starting to get a little airtime.
In a recent IAA trial, Korean researchers aimed quite a bit lower than “cancer cure.”
When they gave 10 grams of IAA to office workers, fatigue scores dropped significantly. Relief lasted about 24 hours on average.
The treatment also significantly reduced oxidative stress. No surprise there, of course. And it most likely plays a key role in reducing fatigue.
5-hour Energy? Please….
This might not be a practical way for office managers to get the most out of their workforce. But imagine what a great way it would be to start the week. Monday morning, instead of coffee, check in at work first thing and get a shot of fatigue-busting vitamin C.
If that were to catch on, maybe some Monday afternoon, Bill Gates, feeling great, might sit back and think… “We should investigate this IAA and cancer thing. Hand me my checkbook. Let’s get started!”
Hey — it could happen.
