 SEPSIS treated with vitamin C

Patents with sepsis predictably have very low serum vitamin C levels, which can only be corrected with intravenous vitamin C in a dose of more than 3gm per day. (2016 below)

FROM NIH: Clinical Studies of Vitamin C in Sepsis- Sepsis is associated with enormous stress to the organism [58]. In animals exposed to stress, an increased endogenous synthesis of ascorbate was found as a compensatory mechanism to maintain the homeostasis [44,59]. However, for critically ill patients, neither do we know an optimal vitamin C plasma concentration nor is it known whether supernormal plasma concentrations are more beneficial [60,61]. However, a number of studies demonstrated that parenteral administration of vitamin C is more effective to increase plasma levels and reduce multi-organ failure.
