Vitamin C Injections Slow Growth Potential Tumor
23 Aug
Injection of high doses of vitamin C, also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid, reduced tumor weight and growth rate up to 50% in rat brain samples, ovarian cancer and pancreas, said researchers from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The researchers track the anti-cancer effects of ascorbate on the formation of hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular fluid surrounding the tumors. Normal cells unaffected. The results were published in the journal planned Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Monitoring for certain natural psychological adjust the amount of ascorbate absorbed by the body when the substance is consumed orally. To pass the normal monitoring, the NIH scientists injected ascorbate into the veins or abdominal cavities of rodents with tumors of the pancreas, ovaries and brain aggressive.
