More reasons to take 500mg vitamin C twice a day
The main cause of plaque is oxidized LDL, caused by free radicals. Macrophages consume the oxidized LDL as foreign, turn into foam cells, and become sticky, becoming plaque. If one takes 500 mg vitamin C twice a day, that lowers free radical formation so LDL is not oxidized. Even people with high cholesterol have much lower plaque formation then.
