Vitamin C Dosage for Autoimmune Disorders
The recommended daily dose of vitamin C for individuals with autoimmune disorders is not explicitly stated in the provided studies. However, some studies suggest the following:
- A daily intake of 100 mg-200 mg of vitamin C is recommended for humans, which is two to threefold greater than the current Recommended Dietary Allowance 1.
- The optimum dietary intake of vitamin C for the majority of the adult population is 200 mg per day to maximize the vitamin's potential health benefits with the least risk of inadequacy or adverse health effects 2.
- Vitamin C treatment has been shown to control autoimmune disease and allergy by stimulating the glucocorticoid mechanism of a patient with an immune disorder, but the exact dosage is not specified 3.
- Vitamin C supplementation has been found to have beneficial effects in treating autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), but the recommended dosage is not provided 4.
Key Findings
- Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and antioxidant activities, making it a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases 4.
- Vitamin C integration regulates the cytokines microenvironment, modulates immune response to autoantigens and cancer cells, and regulates oxidative stress 4.
- The exact dosage of vitamin C for individuals with autoimmune disorders is not clearly established, and more research is needed to determine the optimal intake.
