What a barbaric study. That proves nothing. No one is shoving vitamin C up their vagina! And there are studies showing it can increase progesterone so this wasn't conclusive on how it effects hormone levels at all. Not to mention there are many many 'vitamin C babies' in a large orthomolecular group I am in. Some have said what an easy pregnancy and delivery it was as compared to other babies they had.What about Vitamin Cs effect on Hormones ?
I took 3 gram of Vitamin C on an empty stomach and I started getting the famous scalp itch that is followed by hair loss. Also felt less masculine. So there could be some estrogenic effects . Not sure...
I would like to take Vitamin C esp. for LPS antagonism, which would also benefit my liver. So maybe I will keep the dosage in the 1-2 g range and see if I still experience some benefits... According to OPs study less than a half a gram should give protection from LPS if taken with a meal
What dosages are you guys taking ?
If It is estrogen it should be more than enough to stack it with a drop and Androsterone.
"AsA causes decrease in the nonpregnant isolated uterine smooth muscle tissue levels of progesterone and increase in the non-pregnant isolated uterine smooth muscle tissue levels of estrogen"

The HED translates to about 400mg , which is isnt really much. It was intraperitoneally ,which leads to great absorption. So no Idea how much oral Vitamin C would be needed to achieve the same blood concentration , but for sure several grams!
I just took 8 grams this morning. No scalp itch.
