Can vitamin c shield the brain from too much oxygen?

NCT ID NCT07369232

First seen Feb 01, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how breathing pure oxygen for 30 minutes affects blood flow and stress in the brain, and whether vitamin C can help. Thirteen healthy adults took part, each receiving either vitamin C or a placebo before oxygen. Researchers measured brain blood flow, skin perfusion, and blood markers. The goal is to better understand oxygen's effects on the brain, not to test a treatment.
