Does Vitamin C Increase the Body Heat Generated By The Nervous System?

The goals of this clinical trial are to determine whether or not vitamin C is able to: (1) increase the body heat generated by the sympathetic nervous system; and, (2) increase circulating vitamin D concentration during sympathetic nervous system stimulation in adult humans aged 18-40 years who meet the criteria for overweight based on body mass index. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. By how much does body temperature increase during stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors when vitamin C is given. 2. By how much does circulating vitamin D concentration increase during stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors when vitamin C is given. Participants will will be asked to: * undergo measures of body temperature * have blood sampled on two separate occasions: once during stimulation of beta adrenergic receptors, and once during stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors while also been given vitamin C.

How this works

  1. Answer a few questions

    About 5 to 10 minutes. Skip-friendly where possible.

  2. We forward your profile to the study team

    They see only the answers needed to decide if you can be screened.

  3. The team reaches out to schedule screening

    Usually within a few business days, via the contact you give.

We save your progress under this email so you can come back later, and the study team uses it to reach you.
