Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Is 'left-handed' natural vitamin C different from 'right-handed' synthetic vitamin C?

Challenges

In a separate randomized comparison involving 36 healthy men receiving 50 mg vitamin C daily from kiwifruit or a synthetic tablet for six weeks, reported steady-state plasma/tissue outcomes did not show significant between-source differences. The study does not assess clinical outcomes in all populations.
