Article Synopsis
- Loss of vitamin C can lead to reduced levels in the blood and increase the risk of deficiency, particularly in hemodialysis patients.
- A study with 68 hemodialysis patients examined the impact of different diets and vitamin C supplementation on serum antioxidant levels and plasma vitamin C concentration.
- Results indicated that a carefully selected diet can combat malnutrition and enhance antioxidant activity, while vitamin C supplementation specifically improves antioxidant status in these patients.
