Is Vitamin C trending?

Yes. Vitamin C growing with a month-over-month change of 4% over the past 5 years, with approximately 301,000 monthly searches.

This is a seasonal trend that peaks every January. The seasonal demand is forecasted to decline over the next year.


Why is Vitamin C trending?

1
Boosts Immune System
Vitamin C is well-known for its immune-boosting properties. It helps stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections and diseases.
2
Collagen Production
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the production of collagen, a protein that is necessary for the health and maintenance of skin, bones, and connective tissues. It helps promote wound healing and keeps the skin looking youthful.
3
Antioxidant Power
As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. This can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.
4
Enhances Iron Absorption
Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron from plant-based sources, such as beans and spinach. This is especially beneficial for individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, as iron from plant sources is not as easily absorbed as iron from animal sources.
5
May Reduce the Risk of Chronic Diseases
Studies have shown that a higher intake of vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. However, more research is needed to establish a causal relationship.

What is your most effective Vitamin c product ?
Hi everyone ✨ I want to know about the most effective Vitamin c products you have used. I have been using melano cc essence for years but idk if it really is doing anything. I first used it after applying my toner and before applying my sunscreen. Then I found out how vitamin c works best as the first step of the routine. So, i tried applying it on freshly washed and dried skin. Wait 15 minutes. Then apply other stuff. But it still feels like it's not doing anything. Tbh I am tired of this essence. The texture is so bad. I want to find a toner or serum that has a good percentage of vitamin c or derivatives which i can apply easily as a first step of the routine. My expectation from vitamin c: reduce dark spot and brighten skintone. I know there are other ingredients like azelaic acid, alpha arbutin and niacinamide available. But for my morning routine, i wanna keep a vitamin c product. Other vitamin c products i have used: - klairs vitamin c : goes bad very quickly. Felt very weak - numbuzin n5 serum: love the texture and hydration, but didn't really improve anything Sorry for all the info . If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Megadose Vitamin C solved my problem!
Hi, I will try to make this as short as possible I'm not new to megadosing vitamins and I research a lot (I mean A LOT) Some megadosing of other vitamins like ( D3, K2, Magnesium, and niacin) fixes some of my problems completely or partially and sometimes my body says "F U I will not do anything" But the only thing I've been battling for years that I still can't solve is why my energy and drive to do anything is so unpredictable that no amount of willpower will make me continue my work Then the spark ignited " wait a minute I already researched vitamin C extensively why did I forget about it" To not talk about vitamin C all day let's note two things Without vitamin C, you cannot will not synthesise dopamine and norepinephrine (norepinephrine is VERY important) Vitamin C is the PRIMARY rate-limiting factor for the synthesis of dopamine & norepinephrine with beta-hydroxylase (DBH) What does it mean? It means that no matter how many amino acids you have, mainly l-tyrosine*, it is Vitamin C that enables the body to make dopamine and norepinephrine is Vitamin C. Also, the body converts dopamine to norepinephrine and YOU NEED BOTH Let's look at the symptoms of low levels of both of them Dopamine: Lack of Motivation: Struggling to start tasks or feeling zero drive to accomplish goals. ​Anhedonia: An inability to feel pleasure or satisfaction from activities you usually enjoy. ​Chronic Fatigue: A deep, unshakeable physical and mental tiredness. ​Poor Focus: Difficulty concentrating, easily losing your train of thought, or general "brain fog." ​Motor Issues: In more severe deficiencies, this can manifest as muscle stiffness, tremors, or restless legs. ​Low Libido Out of 6 I had 5 , Libido is normal Now let's see norepinephrine: Orthostatic Hypotension: Dizziness, lightheadedness, or seeing stars when standing up quickly (due to the blood vessels not constricting fast enough). ​Lethargy: Feeling physically heavy, slow, or constantly exhausted. ​Alertness Issues: Difficulty waking up in the morning, staying awake, or reacting quickly to stimuli. ​Memory and Attention Deficits: Trouble retrieving memories, retaining new information, or staying vigilant. ​Apathy and Mood Drops: While low dopamine feels like a lack of pleasure, low norepinephrine often feels like a flat, depressed, or apathetic mood. Out of 5 I had 5! Same symptoms same description That hypo feeling when it's gone, I was surprised because no amount of sodium potassium will fix it so I was thinking that must be norepinephrine and it was! Dosing: I take it as sodium ascorbate made by mixing a 2:1 ratio of ascorbic acid powder + sodium bicarbonate It will bubble keep mixing till there is no chemical reaction Max dose is the one that doesn't cause diarrhoea For me 5g, some ppl can take even more Day 1 5g I wasn't feeling much slightly better Day 2 5g I felt "I am awake" after a couple of hours I took another 5g and then... My mind is clear, I can recall way better effortlessly without squeezing my brain to remember I don't have that heavy feeling when doing anything especially things that are not interesting like washing dishes I don't know how to describe it as I feel it Everything in the symptoms above is gone Note: vitamin C do many things in the body like collagen production, blood vessel health, l-carnitine synthesis, and much more but for my case, it was neurotransmitter synthesis issues Edit: Thank you all of you. I really love discussing everything about the human body, whether I agree or disagree in the comments I will continue taking at least 5g and write what I feel for at least a week or two and give an update in this post For those who want it Edit: April 5 2025, for those who want update, I will continue but I will make it a different post in the same sub and put the link right here, don't worry Even if the experiment goes beautifully or not, we are here to help & learn from each other Edit: 1 week update https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/s/ZlnonNYx06 submitted by /u/PinkSlep to r/Supplements [link] [comments]

[misc] Anyone else feel like Vitamin C may as well be the sugar pill of skincare?
I've been into skincare for a long time, absolutely love reading about the science of different actives and ingredients, and over time have found several ones that noticeably work for me - niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, AHAs/BHAs, retinoids, ceramides. I've also found some that absolutely DON'T work for me (bless your heart, dimethicone). However nothing has puzzled me like vitamin C. In the 10+ years I've been hyper-fixated on skincare, I've seen so many studies, reviews, etc. about the wonders of vitamin c for brightening, lightening dark spots, and generally evening skin tone. When I tell you I have tried every single derivative from the Mississippi to South Korea though... I've gone expensive (SkinCeuticals). I've gone mid-range (Timeless). I've gone single-ingredient derivatives from TO and others. I've tried pure ascorbic acid powder mixed with serums, I've even dabbled in DIY skincare with multiple formulations from classic recipes to full-blown science experiments with trademarked vitamin C matrixes. Once a day, twice a day, thrice a day even (not my best idea. I truly don't think I've ever seen a benefit. My main issue is sun damage (le dark spots) and I know that's a fickle problem to work with, however at this point I know how to spot when an active is working because I've seen it happen with other ones. But zilch with Vitamin C. I feel like I'm crazy. This is one of the most studied actives in OTC skincare. I believe the science. And l've seen the results people have, which I'm extremely envious of.

[Misc] I analyzed 60+ Reddit posts to find the best Vitamin C serums
I scraped comments from 60+ skincare threads asking "what's the best vitamin C serums", then ran that massive amounts of comments data in LLM pipeline to see which serums get consistent love vs. mixed reactions. Goal wasn’t “most talked about,” but “most positively talked about." Method in a nutshell: Scraped 60+ “what Vitamin C should I buy?” threads and product rec Megathreads Used GPT-5 + Gemini 2.5 to extract product mentions and classify sentiment Scoring = 70% positive vs. negative differential + 30% positive/total ratio Manually merged name variants so duplicates didn’t inflate scores (e.g., “CE Ferulic,” “C E Ferulic,” “Skinceuticals CE” → one entry) also used some other sentiment metrics, won't bore you with all the nerdy stuff.

I made my own black and white film developer out of fresh rosemary, water, washing soda, and vitamin C powder for the first time. I got images on my test 120 film.
I’ve been developing my own film for about a year now, but I’ve been diving into the photochemistry and alternative processes. I decided to start making my own plant-based film developers for black and white film out of food waste and from sources outside. For my first time, I’m pretty proud that I even got images (messed up the Drop Test which helps you determine how long you use the developer by watching/counting how long the emulsion side of the film you are developing changes color). I’m making a pomegranate one next from my leftover flesh tonight after eating the seeds. submitted by /u/AliciaDarling21 to r/somethingimade [link] [comments]

Kiwifruit has proven itself as a powerful mood booster. Kiwifruit supplementation improved vitality and mood within four days, peaking around 14-16 days, and improved flourishing from day 14. Vitamin C, on the other hand, marginally improved mood until day 12.

As a kid, I thought the Fishermen's Friend ad ("Suck 'em and see!") was about a new type of vitamin. Vitamin C, Succamin C. Consequently got the piss ripped when I wondered aloud if our school dinner had enough Succamin C. What mis-hearing from your youth has haunted you?
Or adulthood, natch. Was reminded of the 'Succamin C' today after years of it buried in my subconscious. Make me feel better with your own tales of woe.   E: Some crackers here. I'm told it's Andrews Antacid instead of Fishermen's Friend, so there's that. Also, it's been pointed out by my Mum (to pile on more woe) when I mentioned this thread that "You also called Clarks shoes 'Clanks' until you were at least a teenager." It's because of the font, damn it. submitted by /u/-SaC to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]

[Discussion] Do we actually need a Vitamin C product in our routine?
My friend recently shared a video from Dr Dray on Vitamin C to me since I told her I’d like to incorporate a Vitamin C serum in my routine and it seems like Vitamin C does not actually help with brightening up one’s face? It’s supposed to also help with anti-aging but I recently paid a visit to a dermatologist around my area and he told me it’s basically a gimmick to get people incorporating more ingredients to their skincare routine. But he did say it’s a helpful anti-oxidant. I was hoping to get some answers from here, did Vitamin C actually worked for you? And if yes, what products were they? submitted by /u/Violet_Phoenix97 to r/AsianBeauty [link] [comments]

Steve Kerr says he used marijuana for back pain, hopes leagues soften stance – "If you're an NFL player, in particular, and you got lot of pain, I don't think there's any question that pot is better for your body than Vicodin. And yet, athletes everywhere are prescribed Vicodin like it's Vitamin C."
