Pretty incredible to see how far integrative medicine has come from where it started. We are seeing a shift into healthcare evolving into true whole-person care with better access for patients, and more efficiency for providers.

Healthcare is beginning to transform- and we’re just getting started!

Vitamin C is often thought of only as an immune nutrient, but its role in stress physiology is frequently overlooked.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, meaning many traditional forms are rapidly excreted.
Newer liposomal formulations allow vitamin C to remain in circulation longer, improving tissue availability during periods of increased demand.

In a clinical study of 69 women with functional hypercortisolemia due to chronic stress, researchers evaluated the effects of 1,000 mg daily oral ascorbic acid (vitamin C) over a 2-month period. Participants had elevated cortisol and/or DHEA-S levels and were divided into treated and untreated subgroups.

After 2 months of vitamin C supplementation:
• Cortisol levels significantly decreased in women with elevated cortisol
• DHEA-S levels declined closer to normal ranges
• No significant hormone changes were observed in untreated groups

In addition to immune "boosting" properties-Vitamin C also serves as a key cofactor for collagen synthesis, influencing connective tissue health, vascular integrity, and recovery.

While vitamin C is generally easier to obtain from food compared to other nutrients, chronic stress increases utilization and accelerates depletion. In stressed individuals, supplementation may be beneficial — even when dietary intake appears sufficient.

Sometimes simple foundational nutrients can create big health shifts!
