Yes it has direct effect on all sorts of organisms but i think mostly bacteria.
My adrenals are getting better which is only right as all endocrine glands need vitamin C at tissue saturation levels to function optiminally. And when your under stress like we both are mentally and physically(infection) then it gets depleted fast. But theirs a twist you can also be deficient on the metabolite i.e sodium ascorbate im not sure how your kidneys would cope with excess sodium but more C is def needed.
Infact i wouldnt be surprised if it elminated alot of stuff mega-dosed like i did in the past or to get these adrenals and immune system working.
