In terms of Vitamin C's relation to cortisol, STRESS causes excess cortisol production, which depletes Vit. C. in the adrenal gland, correct?
Vit. C supplementation (like in your protocol), in turn, reduces excess cortisol, which in turn helps negate its destructive effects and helps to counteract the negative aspects of stress.
However, what does Vit. C do is someone is LOW cortisol 24-7?
