NCT ID NCT07285109
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed trial tested whether a daily supplement called Qualia Vitamin C+ can raise vitamin C levels in the blood. Thirty-six healthy adults aged 25 and older took either the supplement or a placebo for 28 days. Researchers measured blood vitamin C at the start and end, and also asked participants about their thinking, stress, and immune health. The study was done remotely, with blood draws at local labs.
