Vitamin C megadose: the secret recovery method my brother told me about \ud83c\udf4a<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, I wanted to leave my experience in writing.
This is my record\u2014and a story that will become a memory for me someday.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u2601\ufe0f For a while, I couldn\u2019t recover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though I live a life where I work out consistently, meditate, and do affirmations,
sometimes I felt my emotions strangely hardening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially the longer I spent alone,
the more I felt like something deep inside was getting cold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back when I had a girlfriend,
even if people were just a little kind to me, I\u2019d think, \u201cAh, the world is warm.\u201d
But these days, in the same situations, guardedness<\/strong> comes first for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only later did I realize that was \u201clow oxytocin<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was already<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • managing dopamine with a media detox,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • and managing serotonin with exercise and meditation,
    but I really struggled because I had no idea how to raise oxytocin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cShould I get a pet?\u201d
    \u201cShould I spend more time close to people?\u201d
    While I was thinking through all sorts of things,
    my brother recommended a vitamin C megadose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Vitamin C raises oxytocin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Actually, I first came across this in a book I read a while ago, \u300eThe Oxytocin Story\u300f.
    It said that vitamin C can promote oxytocin release<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the time I just brushed it off like, \u201cOh, I guess so,\u201d
    but looking back now, it feels like that book was giving me a hint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The abstinence, no-explicit-content, and media-detox lifestyle I\u2019m living right now
    is a way of life that minimizes dopamine stimulation and pursues our natural ability to recover<\/strong>,
    but put another way, it can also be a method that removes even the stimuli that let you feel joy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As that built up, it started to feel like my heart was drying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then one day,
    one sentence from my brother made me notice the word \u201cvitamin C\u201d again,
    and I immediately started taking a megadose<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\udf4a 4,000 mg a day\u2014my body and mind started to change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    On the first day I started taking it,
    I felt my workout recovery was much better than usual.<\/strong>
    Even after heavy training, I was less tired,
    and my body felt less weighed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And the psychological resistance<\/strong> I used to feel before going to work out started to fade, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And what surprised me even more was that
    my emotions started to soften little by little.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When dealing with people,
    instead of feeling, \u201cThis person is different from me,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    “They have flaws, but they\u2019re the same kind of person as me.”
    “They must have good sides, too.”
    That kind of openness started to grow in me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Before, I thought, \u201cI must be really exhausted,\u201d
    but looking back now, I think oxytocin played a huge role.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\udde0 Vitamin C might not be just a simple supplement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    As I looked into vitamin C, I found something else interesting.
    It\u2019s the fact that people need different amounts of vitamin C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There\u2019s a common guideline that \u201c100 mg is enough,\u201d
    but for bodies that exercise a lot<\/strong>, are under heavy stress<\/strong>, or need recovery<\/strong>,
    some argue that not only 1,000 mg but even higher \u201cmegadose\u201d amounts are needed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are even many studies suggesting vitamin C can help with
    the central nervous system (CNS)<\/strong>,
    fatigue recovery<\/strong>,
    antioxidant support<\/strong>,
    and even the emotional recovery<\/strong> I experienced.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\udf4b Vitamin C megadose: what\u2019s the best way to take it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I take about 4,000 mg a day, split into doses.
    Rather than taking it all at once, taking it in 2\u20133 doses<\/strong> absorbs much more comfortably.
    With regular vitamin C, it\u2019s best to take it after meals to help prevent heartburn, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u23f0 Example routine:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • After breakfast (liposomal)<\/strong>: 750 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • After lunch<\/strong>: 2,000 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • After dinner<\/strong>: 2,000 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019ve also seen people increase it just for that day when they feel worn out or aren\u2019t recovering well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\uded2 This is the product I took<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Because it was the product my brother recommended, I trusted it more,
      and I also felt reassured because it\u2019s a Jongkundang brand product<\/strong>.
      It\u2019s made with corn-derived ingredients<\/strong>, and they say it\u2019s synthetic but has a structure close to natural<\/strong>.
      There\u2019s debate about natural vs. synthetic,
      but what matters is whether it suits your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
