Vitamin C trial shows no effect on precancerous blood cell growth

A randomized, double-blind controlled trial tested 12 months of vitamin C supplementation in 109 people with precancerous or cancerous blood disorders who were not receiving chemotherapy. Researchers found that growth of (pre)cancerous cells was unchanged in the treatment group, though the supplemented group reported fewer cases of anemia. The findings suggest vitamin C does not halt disease progression but may offer modest supportive benefits.

Why now: New clinical trial results on vitamin C's effect on blood cancers challenge common supplement expectations.
