Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) , an organic compound related to glucose, is one of the main nutrients in the human diet, which is necessary for the normal functioning of connective and bone tissue. Performs the biological functions of a reducing agent and coenzyme of some metabolic processes, is considered as an antioxidant .
According to a 2014 study published in the journal Allergy. Asthma & Clinical Immunology", the use of vitamin C helps to reduce the severity of bronchospasm and respiratory symptoms (cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, shortness of breath) induced by exercise. Exercise-induced bronchospasm is a transient narrowing of the bronchial lumen that occurs during or after exercise.
It is on vitamin C that the assimilation of dietary protein and the further synthesis of new protein structures, in particular in muscles, depend. Vitamin C is the strongest stimulator of muscle anabolism. However, it should be taken in bodybuilding wisely and not overdosed.
In addition, studies have found that ascorbic acid has an anti-catabolic effect by suppressing the secretion of cortisol and the process of peroxidation, which is destructive to the muscles. Therefore, vitamin C can be taken before training to reduce catabolic processes and protect muscles, as well as at the end of an anabolic steroid cycle, as a component of PCT. Some authors report the ability to increase testosterone production, but studies refute this.
The physiological need for a sports supplement for adults is 90 mg / day, for bodybuilding 100-150 mg / day. With colds, as well as after a course of anabolic steroids to block cortisol, the dose is increased to 1000-2000 mg per day. The maximum dose is 3000 mg.
Ascorbic acid is useful in all respects except one: like every acid, it destroys teeth, irritates the gastric mucosa, resulting in heartburn. We are talking about large amounts of ascorbic acid - all over the world it has long been prescribed in grams, and not in milligrams. Since the generally accepted dosages of ascorbic acid in the world are constantly increasing, there is a need for new drugs that do not have negative consequences.
