In reply to Vitamin C calms me down?, posted by Amigan on May 24, 2008, at 6:44:36
Definitely makes sense. Vitamin C is known to suppress the stress hormone Cortisol.
"The Adrenal Glands (especially the Adrenal Medulla) contain the highest concentration (approximately 30 mg) of Vitamin C of any part of the body (where it is utilized in the manufacture of Adrenal Hormones especially Adrenaline):
-Vitamin C (2,500 mg per day) lowers the production of Cortisol and Corticosterone by the Adrenal Glands during periods of Stress."
