🧬 The Power of Vitamin C — Protecting Smokers and Those Exposed to Smoke.

Vitamin C Reduces Stroke Risk

A Dutch study (Neurology) followed 5,000 people for 6.4 years. Those with the highest vitamin C intake (>133 mg/day) had the lowest stroke risk. Smokers in that group were 70 % less likely to suffer a stroke than smokers with the lowest C intake [1].

Vitamin C Cuts Risk from Secondhand Smoke

A Nutrition and Cancer study showed that nonsmokers taking 500 mg vitamin C daily had an 11 % reduction in oxidative-damage biomarkers (F₂-isoprostanes) compared to placebo [2].
👉 Conclusion: Anyone exposed to secondhand smoke should supplement daily with at least 500 mg vitamin C.

Vitamin C and Heart Disease Risk in Smokers

In a study published in American College of Nutrition (Oct 22 2003), 108 smokers were tracked for ischemic heart disease risk. Those with the highest vitamin C intake had a 33 % lower risk than those with the lowest [3].
👉 Researchers concluded that vitamin C is positively related to heart health in smokers and that all smokers should ensure an adequate daily intake.
