NCT ID NCT00001309

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at how the amount of water a person drinks affects the level of vitamin C in their blood. Healthy adults aged 18-35 followed a low-vitamin C diet and then received increasing doses of vitamin C by mouth and through an IV. Researchers collected blood and urine samples to track changes. The goal was to better understand how the body processes vitamin C, not to treat any disease.
