Question 1

i've been taking redoxon that includes vitamin c and zinc for the past few weeks because of running nose and my period is late. what may be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Are u pregnant?: I would not think the medication would affect your cycle. Check a pregnancy test. If it is negative, check with your GYN. Well, I guess you should check with him or her if it is positive, too.

Question 2

my last period, i took high dose of vita c i was told it would jump-start my period cuz it was light, now i'm a few days late for my new period, could the high doses of vitamin c during my period last month thrown off my cycle?

Accepted Answer

Late for period: Would check HCG, may be homonal  variation but if active would check HCG. May also be thyroid  issues  f/u/ w/ doc check HCG

Question 3

i had unprotected sex with my girlfriend. it was her third day of period. during the sex i ejaculated inside my girl. just after knowing that i ejaculated inside her she had a vitamin c tablet. is there any chance of having pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C tablet?: If after sex she had a vitamin C tablet, or ate an orange, she could be pregnant. If after sex she did not have a vitamin C tablet, nor ate an orange, she could be pregnant. That's because vitamin C and citrus are unrelated to getting pregnant. Always plan ahead if not desiring to be pregnant, married, settled down, with stable jobs, raising children. Can also chat with the doctor by video.

Question 4

am pregnant and i take prenatal vitamins so is it neccessary to take vitamin c pills to boost my immune system during this period of corona virus?

Accepted Answer

Not more extra C: If trying to get pregnant, or if already pregnant, one takes prenatal vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are  multivitamins, and contain vitamin C. If a woman is already in good health with good nutrition, the added vitamins from prenatal vitamins are "not noticeable" to her body. The Folic Acid in the prenatal vitamins does help decrease the chance of a certain type of birth defect.

Question 5

does vitamin c help stop your period ?

Accepted Answer

Menorrhagia: My understanding is that  Vitamin C has been used in cases of meorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding) if there is increased capillary fragility. . REF:  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/menorrhagia  However, I am not aware that Vitamin C stops a normal period altoghether.

Question 6

can taking vitamin c make your period start?

Accepted Answer

No: tends to go right through you (excreted in urine).

Question 7

could vitamin c tablets induce a period?

Accepted Answer

Not likely to be: effective to kick start your period.

Question 8

how is using vitamin c to induce your period?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C: I can not comment on effectiveness. However, when substances are used for this type of purpose - the doses are usually excessive and can have side effects or be toxic.

Question 9

is it true that vitamin c could induce a period ?

Accepted Answer

No: Vitamin c would have no effect in inducing a period.

Question 10

thoughts? could nature made vitamin c 1000mg timed release with rosehips will induce period?

Accepted Answer

Should not, but...: Much to much c! no one needs more than 300mg/day.  Vitamin c is not essential for human life. The details of which will bore you.  However, people taking the dose you are taking in several studies have greater mortality than those ingesting less.  It also will not prevent the cold. Myths abound. Also, not related to induction of a period!
