New research recently published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) proposes that people with septic lung injury and Sepsis may have an increased chance of survival and a quicker recovery when treated with infusions of Vitamin C.
Mortality in patients with sepsis was reduced from 46% in participants in the placebo group to 30% in the patients receiving the intravenous Vitamin C after 28 days. The trial also showed patients receiving the intravenous Vitamin C also spent significantly less days in both the intensive care unit (7 days vs 10 days) and in the hospital overall (15 days vs 22 days). Originally the study was designed to study the effect of Vitamin C on organ failure. Organ failure is a common that occurs in patients with Sepsis.
Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming and threatening response to infection. Sepsis can lead to organ failure, tissue damage and death. Up to 300,000 deaths caused by Sepsis are reported yearly.
Researchers see this therapy as a way to potentially transform the way Sepsis patients are cared for once they are hospitalized. Further research is needed.
Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient manufactured by most mammals except for human beings which must rely on either diet or supplementation to get adequate amounts of this important nutrient. Vitamin C is needed for the formation of collagen protein found in bone, cartilage, connective tissue and skin. Vitamin C is also considered an antioxidant nutrient and is essential for wound healing and immune response. Vitamin C helps strength blood vessels, influences the formation of hemoglobin, the absorption of iron from the intestinal tract and the deposition of iron in liver tissues. Vitamin C deficiency can result in symptoms like excessive hair loss, inflamed gums, eye hemorrhages, hemorrhagic skin follicles, easy bruising and bleeding gums.
