Vit C is an aromatase inhibitor and reduces estrogen, can also cause wheezing
probably good for getting rid of all the pseudo-estrogens from the environment

AFAIK it inhibits endogenous conversionprobably good for getting rid of all the pseudo-estrogens from the environment
Me neither. It's mainly due to endogenous conversion of vit C into oxalates ( http://www.lowoxalate.info/ ). An additional factor could be lowering of copper.I can't tolerate it at all. 500mg is past my bowel tolerance limit. My doc wanted me to take it three times a day and I tried for quite a while with the same result.
Dr. Lam loves vitamin C. I'm not sold on it just yet, however if excess free radicals are causing fatigue, Vitamin C might help. But I know some people said Lam had them up to 50 grams a day for "adrenal fatigue."
Your adrenals are tired. So while every other organ in the body just does what it's told based on signaling, the adrenal's are the only organ that gets tired. Damn those lazy adrenal glands! Get on the treadmill lazy glands!

I wouldn't be too sure about that:One downside of vit c supplementation that I recently found out about is it can increase risk of kidney stones.
You probably don't really want to know, having never met me before, that bowel tolerance for me was 19 grams. I took 18 grams the first day, and nothing happened. That felt like a lot until I read elsewhere online that some people can tolerate up to 30 grams :O

Interesting. Did it improve any of your symptoms at all? I can't seem to find any one with confirmed adrenal fatigue that has benefited from vitamin c supplementation in the long term, or any contribution towards recovery.
