A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD explaining that vitamin C is an antioxidant involved in multiple detoxification pathways. Whitfield notes humans have limited enzymatic detox capacity which can be overwhelmed by increasing toxic burden and worsened by gut or digestive problems.
Everybody's heard of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Those four pathways helps our. They're what help us detoxify. And you have a certain amount of enzymatic capability to do that. And over time, like you said, as toxic burden rises, you exceed the level of your enzymatic ability to detox. And then if someone gets, you know, leaky gut or has problems with their digestive tract, that makes it worse. If there's another problem that's going to make it worse.
