According to a study published in the Hindustan Times, vitamin C deficiency is very common in India, with an estimated 74% of adults in North India and 46% of adults in South India deficient in this critical vitamin. Ironically, vitamin C is not synthesized in the body and must be supplemented through diet and supplements. Considering the high requirements of this essential vitamin, additional supplementation with a highly bioavailable and stable form of vitamin C ensures maintenance of adequate levels without significant side effects. Vitamin C in its original form is highly unstable, and higher doses can cause adverse effects. High doses of vitamin C are also used to treat and prevent disorders such as atherosclerosis, the common cold, glaucoma, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, macular degeneration, stroke, and diabetes.

The effects of vitamin C on respiratory, allergic and immunological diseases: an experimental and clinical-based review ; Jr of Inflamopharcology 2023
Key Findings
Studies assessed the effects of vitamin C on respiratory disorders including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung infection and lung cancer. Vitamin C showed relaxant effect on tracheal smooth muscle via various mechanisms. The preventive effects of vitamin C were mediated by antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in the experimental animal models of different respiratory diseases. Some clinical studies also indicated the effect of vitamin C on lung cancer and lung infections. Therefore, vitamin C could be used a preventive and/or relieving therapy in respiratory diseases.
