Lecture Title:
Updates in Critical Vitamin C Treatment Protocols – Recent Published Literature – Therapeutic Dosing, Duration, & Distribution for Optimal Ascorbate Levels and Improved Clinical Results & Efficacy
Learning Objectives:
- What did we learn from recent years on the critical Vitamin C applications for COVID, Cancer, Trauma, and Pain?
- Why some protocols were more effective than others?
- Are we chasing deficiency or providing therapeutic benefit?
- How can we monitor Ascorbate levels?
- Understanding depletion factors for optimal Ascorbate levels maintenance.
What is the “optimal” Dose, Distribution, and Duration of Vitamin C applications and treatments? - Discover the roles and functions of therapeutic Vitamin C protocols and their ability to repair, regenerate, and restore the immune system for optimal health and wellness.
Abstract
Ascorbate, also known as vitamin C, plays a critical role in improving surgical outcomes due to its various beneficial effects on the body. Here are several reasons why ascorbate is important in the context of surgery:
- Collagen synthesis: Ascorbate is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that is crucial for wound healing and tissue repair. Collagen provides structural support to tissues, including skin, blood vessels, and organs. Adequate levels of ascorbate promote the formation of strong and healthy collagen, leading to improved wound healing and reduced risk of complications such as wound dehiscence (the reopening of a wound).
- Antioxidant properties: Ascorbate is a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules produced during surgery and inflammation. By neutralizing these free radicals, ascorbate helps reduce oxidative stress and prevents cellular damage. This antioxidant activity contributes to the overall health of tissues and supports their recovery after surgery.
- Immune system support: Ascorbate plays a vital role in supporting the immune system. It enhances the function of various immune cells, including neutrophils and lymphocytes, which are crucial for fighting off infections and promoting healing. By bolstering the immune response, ascorbate helps reduce the risk of postoperative infections and other complications.
- Reduced risk of surgical site infections: Adequate levels of ascorbate have been associated with a decreased risk of surgical site infections. Ascorbate supports the body’s immune system, helps prevent the growth of bacteria, and assists in the formation of a protective barrier on the skin. These factors collectively contribute to reducing the risk of infections at the surgical site.
- Enhanced wound healing: Ascorbate promotes the synthesis of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis, which is crucial for proper wound healing. It also aids in the production of connective tissue and promotes the migration of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for creating the extracellular matrix that supports tissue repair. By facilitating these processes, ascorbate helps accelerate wound healing and improves overall surgical outcomes.
