Ascorbic Acid in Bodybuilding

To achieve excellent results, vitamin C is taken before exercise to prevent muscle breakdown. Ascorbic acid is highly utilized by athletes, aiding them in strenuous and lengthy workouts. It provides energy and facilitates reaching maximum outcomes. Additionally, it aids in post-workout recovery and activates collagen production, crucial for muscle cell growth and renewal. Ascorbic acid optimizes protein absorption and muscle building. After a steroid cycle, rehabilitation doses can be increased to 2 grams, not exceeding 3 grams.

Research shows that ascorbic acid has an anti-catabolic effect by inhibiting cortisol secretion and muscle-damaging peroxidation processes. Pre-workout vitamin C intake can diminish catabolism, protect muscles, and aid post-anabolic steroid cycle recovery.

Consequences of Ascorbic Acid Deficiency:

• Deterioration of hair condition (dryness and split ends)
• Gum problems (inflammation and bleeding)
• Peeling and rough skin
• Impaired tissue regeneration
• Joint problems
• Slower metabolism and potential weight gain
• Reduced immunity
• Weakened tooth enamel
• Muscle pain
• Weakness and apathy
• Disruption of the digestive tract

Doses and Regimen of Ascorbic Acid:

The recommended daily dose for adults is 90 mg. For bodybuilders, it’s 100-150 mg per day. After a course of anabolic steroids or during colds to counteract cortisol, the dose can be increased to 1000-2000 mg daily. The maximum dose should not exceed 3000 mg.

Overdose of Ascorbic Acid:

Symptoms of vitamin C overdose include abdominal pain, nausea, flatulence, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, and itching. Prolonged high-dose use may lead to urinary system stone formation.

Side Effects of Ascorbic Acid:

Consuming over 1000 mg/day of vitamin C may cause digestive tract irritation, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Side effects may also include crystalluria, thrombocytosis, angioedema, kidney glomerular damage, urinary tract and kidney stone formation, skin rashes, sleep disturbances, urticaria, headache, hyperexcitability, heat sensation, increased clotting tendency, and copper/zinc metabolism disruption.

Shelf Life: 2 years

Do not use after the expiration date indicated on the package.

Storage Conditions: Store in original packaging at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.

Incompatibility: Ascorbic acid’s high redox potential can alter the chemical composition of other drugs. Check compatibility before using alongside other medications.
