Vitamin C may improve smokers' blood circulation Written by Tanya Continued from page 1 The research team used a non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure CFVR in smokers and non-smokers, before and after they took vitamin C. They found that before taking vitamin, smokers had a lower CFVR than non-smokers did. Two and four hours after dose of vitamin C, however, smokers' average CFVR was "restored" to a more-normal level. Though men in study were given a large dose of vitamin C, researchers pointed out that it's probably useless to take doses beyond 200 milligrams, because body will excrete excess. Moreover, it's not clear that loading up on vitamin C can benefit smokers. Some trials have found that taking C supplements does not improve smokers' blood vessel function, at least in short term. Researchers said further, large-scale trials should look at whether daily vitamin C supplements cut smokers' long-term risk of coronary artery disease.
