Unlocking Vitamin C’s Cancer-Fighting Mechanisms
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
This review shows that vitamin C may help in cancer treatment in three main ways. First, high doses of vitamin C can make hydrogen peroxide that may kill cancer cells. Second, vitamin C helps key enzymes work that slow tumor growth when oxygen is low. Third, vitamin C supports enzymes that control gene activity so cancer cells can behave more normally. For readers, focus on a diet rich in vitamin C and talk to your doctor about clinical studies of high-dose vitamin C.
