Does Vitamin C cause anxiety?

[adrenalhealing]

Hi All,

I have been on an adrenal recovery program since July as I crashed in June with heart palpitations in the middle of sleep and developed anxiety afterwards.

I have been on 1000mg of vitamin C daily since July.

I have noticed more emotions, good or bad, on some days after doing the vitamin C therapy.
And would have anxiety or respond to stress with anxiety more on those days.
In recent days I have also noticed improved energy, so I am thinking I should be having less anxiety as I am snapping out of the adrenal depletion stage.

As my anxiety started before taking vitamin C it is very hard for me to figure out if it is caused by the vitamin C or just my panic state induced by crashing.

Does vitamin C cause or worsen anxiety?

And if so, it is only due to liver clearance issues, or other causes?

Yes... it can worsen anxiety and make you feel more jittery. And yes, I believe it has to do with clearance issue.

I used to have trouble with Vitamin C and anxiety, but I don't anymore. I can take as many Liposomal C vitamin C as I want and have no negative side effects. After a couple of years of coffee enemas and liver flushes, I think my liver clearance is better

Thanks for your reply

But do you think it could also do with Vitamin C being a cofactor for the synthesis of noradrenaline, that any vitamin C intake would lead to the body using it to produce noradrenaline?

I suspect this as recent days I have noticed improved energy but also more prone to anxiety.

If one has liver clearance issues, could any energy increases from vitamin C be actually a stimulant effect?

I think both things are possible. Vitamin C is adrenal fuel.... but if you are stuck in a state of stress, the fuel may be directed to stress hormones.

And...Vitamin C can mobilize more toxins, which will create more stress, and probably worse if your liver can get rid of them fast enough
