Love this one! Suggestion: please create a video on chronic food allergies (ones that don't trigger acute reactions like anaphylaxis) and where in the body the reaction occurs, i.e. stomach? Duodenum? Etc. Lastly, what the internal damage to years of exposure to allergens (IgE positive) does to you internally. Please and thank you!!
We will add it to the list! As for your question it is somewhat hard to answer as there are multiple variables that would play a role in the amount of internal damage. Luckily, say if we are talking about like the microvilli of the small intestine, those can heal pretty well if the allergen is removed.
I started taking Vit C in my early thirties and have continued to now, 75 years…I seem to have a lot fewer wrinkles than my similar age friends. I taught high school for 30 years and during that time, even though exposed to every virus that came down the pike, I remember only catching a cold twice.

Years ago I went through a financial low and experienced scurvy due to a vitamin C deficiency; burning, bleeding gums - not pleasant at all. I quickly bought a bag of guavas, since then I squeeze lemons into an ice tray and have one ice block in warm water every morning.
I had terrible IBS symptoms for 6 years and my diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, one of the treatment trials was slow absorbing Vitamin C (1,000 mg.) Shockingly, within about 2 days, all those IBS symptoms vanished. Stupid mast cells but yay for such a highly affordable, well-known supplement to dramatically improve my daily life!
My body must've been really drained because when I gave birth to my son and was breastfeeding, I began to crave orange juice like NO TOMORROW. I was chugging gallons of this thing every week. It messed up my teeth pretty bad though! The sugar and acid is not a great combination. But I find it interesting how the body knows what it wants and makes you get it so it can recuperate.
I craved liver during my pregnancy and ate a lot although I couldn't stand it before. The last month before my due date I was in hospital with no access to liver and that was when they put me on iron tablets. I hadn't needed them before.
Love these videos! I am now taking nutrition over the summer and volunteering at a clinic. Apply for Nursing in fall and taking microbiology as well. You guys definitely helped me out a ton with A&P I & II.

Dude! I was diagnosed with SLE and my doctor prescribed daily intake of Vitamin C with Zinc (why does it have to have Zinc, btw?) But yeahh!!!! Super informative! Thank you, IoHA! And Thank you, Vitamin C for making me healthier...😅😅
Vitamin c is also good for making collagen. You wanna stay looking young? Take collagen / vitamin c supplements or eat food rich in those. I have some loose skin from losing weight and I can definitely see the difference when I take those supplements, helps me look tighter.

The “C” in vitamin c stands for cool 😎 . (Hi, I’m smack. I love leaving corny comments. Stay tuned for next time. Thanks institute of human anatomy, great vid 😉)
What great timing for this video! I have a family member right now whose levels are too high and he hasn’t been sick in YEARS. What happens when Vitamin C levels are too high?
Very good video as always! Makes me wonder if my supplementation is effective. Kirkland organic multivitamin plus Nature made B12 and D3 plus Zenwise Vegan Omega3. Plus Qunol liquid CoQ10 & their liquid turmeric.
Love this channel. I’m not going to spend my money on AG1. I’m going to buy healthy food and consume it in a relaxed manner. Healthy food without a healthy life isn’t ideal. Life should not be so packed with activity that you don’t have time to prepare and eat food.
Balance for sure!!! If only that was true for everyone! Doctors are busy and how do they take care of themselves with horrible food places! We need more places like core life foods!! We need healthy normal basic foods back again!!!
You're right, life should not be that packed. Unfortunately, this is the case for many people living through their daily lives. Even with proper time management it can be hard to squeeze in a few hours or even minutes.
AG1 seems a bit too expensive per serving. Unfortunately, not for me. I'd do it for about ⅓ of the price but clearly that's an unreasonable expectation. Interesting product though - good for rich people i suppose.
Thank you! I always wonder about all of the vitamins and minerals (even micro-nutrients) we need in our diets and why. I never thought about the fat soluble vs water soluble part, thank you for explaining it further👍
Hello dear, I make my own kind of lemonade, I squeeze a lemon, then I add water, a little sodium bicarbonate and honey. What can you say about the combination? Can you make a video about Hay Fever: is the popular term for pollen or pollen allergy, a form of allergy that is caused by pollen grains or pollen from trees, grasses or (weed) herbs. The immune system reacts to the pollen (pollen) by producing antibodies, which triggers an allergic reaction. and how can we get rid of this troublesome allegy?
It’s weird. The symptoms of Scurvy are the same as prednisone. Bruising, slow wound healing, losing teeth. Does survey cause bone loss too like prednisone does? Prednisone reduces inflammation by reducing arachidonic acid.
Every scurvy symptoms are related to dysfunctional collagen synthesis. Collagen is everywhere in animal body and it also is elastic component in bones. There can be some bone adnormalities as symptom.
Captain James Cook ended scurvy with sauerkraut not fruit. It was called " the saurkraut miricale " back then. Fruit became important after the banana wars.
What about vitamin A next? About how too much beta carotene will lead to liver toxicity? And other vitamins that could be dangerous when consumed more than needed? Also maybe best multivitamins to choose for optimal health and so on...
the scariest thing I read about scurvy is all your old wounds open up as the collagen breaks down, imagine if one had had a caesarean or appendix out, or major heart surgery. 🙀
I learned so much from this video, thank you! I don't know about others, but I'd really wanna know how you take care of your teeth, they are so perfectly white. It would be nice If you can tell us the secret in a video
The reduction in time and not in infection risk makes sense, since Vitamin C is used by white blood cells for them to function. No Vitamin C, then the white blood cells, which come on board during the later parts of an infection, won't be working properly.
QUESTION:I JUST FOUND OUT I HAVE TO MUCH IRON IN MY BLOOD AND I CANT TAKE VITAMIN C AND I ALSO HAVE ANEMIA. I JUST FOUND OUT SO THAT IS ALL I KNOW. IT SOUND SO GOOD TO ME.
vitamin C also helps in the absorption of iron. iron is the only nutrient for which women have a higher daily requirement than man. deficiency of vitamin C causes gum diseases, scurvy, skin haemorrhage etc. thanks👋👋
I have a connective tissue disorder that affects collagen. I take so much vitamin C! It doesn't fix my faulty collagen by any means, but it is supposed to help at least some. Also, vitamin C is a mast cell stabilizer. I also have faulty mast cells from my condition.
Does taking vitamin C daily have any negative effects for a perfectly healthy person otherwise? I'm thinking of taking it "just in case". Would that be a bad approach?
study the famous Linus Pauling. he will explain well. Dr Thomas Levy is good. Suzzane Humphries. Andrew Saul. all these people are very good people to learn vitamin C
Cost effective Vitamin C is available from brewers supplies. It is used to preserve fruit from oxygen brown by sacrificing it instead, and apparently also helps with beer. Fruit and vegetables are too expensive, especially now during inflation.
At 1st sign of a cold, I immediately take at least 5000 mg of vitamin C, & every hour after that 1000 mg. I taper off from there. And so I avoid the cold.
Linus Pauling, a double Nobel prize-winning scientist, promoted mega doses of Vit-C in the '70s. His results were criticized by the NIH (the same outfit that promotes Dr. McDougall's "high starch/carb theory is good for diabetics") but have since been shown that Dr. Pauling was on the right track. Of course, the conclusion is more studies need to be done. Some 50 years later!
I've heard a lot of people say organ meat, such as liver, is the most nutrient dense food there is. But when people discuss vitamins c, it's never brought up
Would love for you to do a video on ehlers danlos syndrome, which I found scary similar when you mentioned the symptoms of scurvy and lack/ defective collagen 👀🤣
I would be interested to see the results on people that take 1,000 mg of C or more a daily, if they were less susceptible to catching a common cold. 200 mg is not much above the bare subsistence level.
10:50. Huge historical mistake here. It wasn't Capt. James Cook the first one to figure out the solution to the scurvy problem. There were a bunch of earlier captains and physicians who found out that having fresh food or fruits onboard was related to scurvy prevention. It is the Scottish Navy surgeon James Lind the one credited for making the discovery, because he connected the dots in a clinical trial, but few people knew about that or heed him. Captain Cook had fresh food onboard, which prevented scurvy, but he didn't make the exact relation and for many years afterward scurvy was still a problem for sailors, and for other people too. Please read the "History" section of this Wikipedia article. The road to find vitamin C was very long and very tortuous. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scurvy
Nice video! ironically ascorbic acid breaks down into H2O2 which then causes more reactive oxygen species at its location. Some say this is the mechanism for counteracting infection.
Would it be possible to do a video on Meniere's disease? I'm getting tired of explaining (A) that it's a real disease and (B) that it's not as much fun as it appears. ... Thank you.
The missing link is that almost all mammal organisem produce in the liver L-+-Ascobic acid and this adds up to 25 to 50 mg per kg per day or even more, out of that fact one could conclude for a human body (what is a mammal body) a normal daily demand of 2000mg to 4000mg per day. And this suggestion of an intake of 100mg per day is much below the necessary daily demand and thus doesn't do any thing significant.
The optimal intake or ascorbic acid you're thinking of is about 250mg a day. I forget the source, but I'm right;) You must account for the many other acids which work with ascorbic acid, as vitamin c complex. We don't need that much from ascorbic acid. You have your 4000 mg (or more) of vitamin C-like acids when you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Do not take supplemental vitamin C, unless you are in an emergency situation without access to fresh, dried, frozen, or canned produce.
@@peter5.056 The human body has a DNA defect by that the liver cant prduce the enzym to produce out of Glucose (blood sugger) L-+-Ascorbic acid, what almost all mammal organisem can. An fresh apple picked from a tree has about 50 mg per 100 g that means one had to eat more about 8 kg of apples to cover an inteake of 4000mg . This talk about Vitamin C Complex is beside the real point, it is L-+-Ascorbic Acid that a full scale of function in a body.
@@startup2017 Don't try to reduce it to a single reaction. Nutritional biochemistry is MINDBLOWINGLY complex. In fact, is SO complex, I dare say that it is impossible for us to fully understand it, let alone attempt to reduce it to its constituent reactions;) Nature got it right. Eat real food, mostly plants, not too much. It's that simple.
Great lesson per usual! And it is sweet that you almost always involve Jeffrey in your videos. ✨Cheers to Geoffrey & Johnathans friendship and successful Vitamin C intake!🍻✨
Obviously Vitamin C is very much needed but people you should try and get your doses from food. It is an antioxidant and artificial antioxidants shouldn’t be used on the regular. You can get more then enough high dose of vitamin C from foods. It’s abundant. Sure I’m a emergency situation I’d take a high dose but nothing long term.
Might be a bit morbid, but I'd be kinda curious about how scurvy actually works now (the usual more in depth version we get here). What things fail, in what order and how severe. I vaguely recall reading references to old maritime stories where actual old scars would open up and such again. I guess the disease is pretty rare these days with better nutrition and supplement availability and much shorter durations with intercontinental travel times but an accurate account of an old time worst case and how it might show up these days with early symptoms could be interesting. In Dutch the disease is actually named "scheurbuik", literally translated that's "ruptured belly"? Would anything like that actually happen in the most severe cases, maybe if they had an old scar there?
First symptoms are pain and lethargy, most likely related to free radicals. More severe symptoms are related to disturbed collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is cofactor in collagen building chain. And collagen is main structure protein in animals. Wounds don't heal properly, because synthezised collagen is unstable and broke easily or no new collagen at all. Eventually both oxidation harm and unstable collagen production goes more systemic. Blood veins won't hold shapes and rupture. Bones goes prittle.
Another informative and educational video. Very interesting to know vitamin C supports the quality of collagen. Does anyone know the proper range of vitamin c intake on a daily bases to have optimum levels in the body?
I love your videos they are so educational and interesting. I've left a comment before asking if you could do a video about gallstones and gallbladder which you did to my appreciated surprise,so thank you so much for doing that. Lately I've been dealing with constant acid reflux which is not a fun thing and thought I'd leave another comment to ask you if you would consider doing a video about acid reflux and the causes of it and the lasting affects it can leave on your body and overall health. I know you probly get so many subscribers and followers asking you to make videos all the time so im not expecting you to make my request your first and highest priority but I would really be grateful if you do consider doing a video about it sometime in the near future. I'll still continue to watch and enjoy your videos and to keep being a huge supporter of your channel eitherway. I do hope this comment makes its way to you and your team and look forward to new and fascinating videos that you will be posting soon.
I have a question! (sorry it's unrelated to vitamins but I wasn't sure where else to ask). I can move the pinky toe on one foot, but not at all on the other. Why is that? and why aren't toes as articulate as fingers, in general?

You wont get diareah if your body needs all the vit c
I am suffering from avascular necrosis can u make video of the therepy and treatment for this
When talking about collagen what about people like me with EDS who have a connective tissue disorder and can only produce defective collagen?
Cost effective Vitamin C is available from brewers supplies. It is used to preserve fruit from oxygen brown by sacrificing it instead, and apparently also helps with beer. Fruit and vegetables are too expensive, especially now during inflation.
At 1st sign of a cold, I immediately take at least 5000 mg of vitamin C, & every hour after that 1000 mg. I taper off from there. And so I avoid the cold.
Linus Pauling, a double Nobel prize-winning scientist, promoted mega doses of Vit-C in the '70s. His results were criticized by the NIH (the same outfit that promotes Dr. McDougall's "high starch/carb theory is good for diabetics") but have since been shown that Dr. Pauling was on the right track. Of course, the conclusion is more studies need to be done. Some 50 years later!
Loved the content, as always.
I've heard a lot of people say organ meat, such as liver, is the most nutrient dense food there is. But when people discuss vitamins c, it's never brought up
Vitamin c is in all meat
@@buckbuckleyson2259 oh, that's good to know. I love ground beef!!
Hey can you make a video about radiology? And how to identify the anatomy on different modalities?
How about a vitamin and mineral Playlist to see how they all affect and move through the body pleeeease! 🙏
Would love for you to do a video on
ehlers danlos syndrome, which I found scary similar when you mentioned the symptoms of scurvy and lack/ defective collagen 👀🤣
Very interesting, thank you. Could you do an episode on intervertebral disc and its related diseases and healing?
I would be interested to see the results on people that take 1,000 mg of C or more a daily, if they were less susceptible to catching a common cold. 200 mg is not much above the bare subsistence level.
Saya minum vitamin c 1000 mg setiap hari dari tahun 2018 tidak pernah flu,dan tahun 2021 semua keluarga saya menderita Corona kecuali saya
Mark 👋
Please do one on stimulants like Ritalin Adderall, Modafinil etc. Proper use and or abuse.
Do they have an spanish version of the channel?
10:50. Huge historical mistake here. It wasn't Capt. James Cook the first one to figure out the solution to the scurvy problem. There were a bunch of earlier captains and physicians who found out that having fresh food or fruits onboard was related to scurvy prevention. It is the Scottish Navy surgeon James Lind the one credited for making the discovery, because he connected the dots in a clinical trial, but few people knew about that or heed him. Captain Cook had fresh food onboard, which prevented scurvy, but he didn't make the exact relation and for many years afterward scurvy was still a problem for sailors, and for other people too.
Please read the "History" section of this Wikipedia article. The road to find vitamin C was very long and very tortuous.

Please make a video about food for low back pain or how we strengthen it
Nice video! ironically ascorbic acid breaks down into H2O2 which then causes more reactive oxygen species at its location. Some say this is the mechanism for counteracting infection.
Would it be possible to do a video on Meniere's disease? I'm getting tired of explaining (A) that it's a real disease and (B) that it's not as much fun as it appears. ... Thank you.
Thanks. Really clear and engaging!
Can you make a video on shin conditioning? It would be interesting to learn benifits and possible injuries.
The missing link is that almost all mammal organisem produce in the liver L-+-Ascobic acid and this adds up to 25 to 50 mg per kg per day or even more, out of that fact one could conclude for a human body (what is a mammal body) a normal daily demand of 2000mg to 4000mg per day. And this suggestion of an intake of 100mg per day is much below the necessary daily demand and thus doesn't do any thing significant.
The optimal intake or ascorbic acid you're thinking of is about 250mg a day. I forget the source, but I'm right;) You must account for the many other acids which work with ascorbic acid, as vitamin c complex. We don't need that much from ascorbic acid. You have your 4000 mg (or more) of vitamin C-like acids when you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Do not take supplemental vitamin C, unless you are in an emergency situation without access to fresh, dried, frozen, or canned produce.
@@peter5.056 The human body has a DNA defect by that the liver cant prduce the enzym to produce out of Glucose (blood sugger) L-+-Ascorbic acid, what almost all mammal organisem can.
An fresh apple picked from a tree has about 50 mg per 100 g that means one had to eat more about 8 kg of apples to cover an inteake of 4000mg .
This talk about Vitamin C Complex is beside the real point, it is L-+-Ascorbic Acid that a full scale of function in a body.
@@startup2017 Don't try to reduce it to a single reaction. Nutritional biochemistry is MINDBLOWINGLY complex. In fact, is SO complex, I dare say that it is impossible for us to fully understand it, let alone attempt to reduce it to its constituent reactions;) Nature got it right. Eat real food, mostly plants, not too much. It's that simple.
Great lesson per usual! And it is sweet that you almost always involve Jeffrey in your videos.
✨Cheers to Geoffrey & Johnathans friendship and successful Vitamin C intake!🍻✨
Very enjoyable video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How does grapefruit interfere with medication? As a native Texan, I love grapefruit but my seizure medications prevent me from enjoying it regularly.
Obviously Vitamin C is very much needed but people you should try and get your doses from food. It is an antioxidant and artificial antioxidants shouldn’t be used on the regular. You can get more then enough high dose of vitamin C from foods. It’s abundant. Sure I’m a emergency situation I’d take a high dose but nothing long term.

Might be a bit morbid, but I'd be kinda curious about how scurvy actually works now (the usual more in depth version we get here). What things fail, in what order and how severe. I vaguely recall reading references to old maritime stories where actual old scars would open up and such again. I guess the disease is pretty rare these days with better nutrition and supplement availability and much shorter durations with intercontinental travel times but an accurate account of an old time worst case and how it might show up these days with early symptoms could be interesting.
In Dutch the disease is actually named "scheurbuik", literally translated that's "ruptured belly"? Would anything like that actually happen in the most severe cases, maybe if they had an old scar there?
First symptoms are pain and lethargy, most likely related to free radicals.
More severe symptoms are related to disturbed collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is cofactor in collagen building chain.
And collagen is main structure protein in animals.
Wounds don't heal properly, because synthezised collagen is unstable and broke easily or no new collagen at all. Eventually both oxidation harm and unstable collagen production goes more systemic. Blood veins won't hold shapes and rupture. Bones goes prittle.
My flatmates in college (boys ofc) got scurvy because they didn't eat any fruits or veggies for months. Their first symptom was loose teeth.
I have extremely problems with my neurodermatitis. If I get it right, consuming Vitamin C will hopefully help me?
Just took mine!
Could you maybe cover what precordial catch is. I suffer from this for the last 11 years of my life. It would be neat to see
Derks ❤️🎈
Thank you both for this series, I really have learned a lot
Another informative and educational video. Very interesting to know vitamin C supports the quality of collagen. Does anyone know the proper range of vitamin c intake on a daily bases to have optimum levels in the body?
I have always liked anatomy and thanks to you guys I can learn more.
I love your videos they are so educational and interesting. I've left a comment before asking if you could do a video about gallstones and gallbladder which you did to my appreciated surprise,so thank you so much for doing that. Lately I've been dealing with constant acid reflux which is not a fun thing and thought I'd leave another comment to ask you if you would consider doing a video about acid reflux and the causes of it and the lasting affects it can leave on your body and overall health. I know you probly get so many subscribers and followers asking you to make videos all the time so im not expecting you to make my request your first and highest priority but I would really be grateful if you do consider doing a video about it sometime in the near future. I'll still continue to watch and enjoy your videos and to keep being a huge supporter of your channel eitherway. I do hope this comment makes its way to you and your team and look forward to new and fascinating videos that you will be posting soon.
Great videos.... can you do one on how calcium supplements affect the body? Thanks!
Nice love watching all your videos!
I have a question! (sorry it's unrelated to vitamins but I wasn't sure where else to ask). I can move the pinky toe on one foot, but not at all on the other. Why is that? and why aren't toes as articulate as fingers, in general?
Jonathan, you recommend AG1, but it is only available in the US, Canada, UK and Europe, and not outside these countries, why?
Likely they have suppliers there and international shipping is too much for them.
