Vitamin C Supplementation and Intestinal Microbiome Diversity: A Critical Review of Current Evidence
Vitamin C supplementation may influence gut microbiome diversity by modulating intestinal oxidative stress, microbial composition, and the production of beneficial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids. Emerging evidence also points to potential synergies with prebiotics, probiotics, butyrate, and bioflavonoids, although further clinical research is needed to establish optimal doses and long-term effects.
