Blood Vitamin C Linked to Stronger Brain Connectivity in Aging
TL;DR Summary
A study of 2,044 older Japanese adults found that higher blood levels of vitamin C are associated with greater gray matter volume and stronger connectivity in the brain's default mode network, suggesting vitamin C may help support brain health and potentially slow age-related cognitive decline, though causation isn't proven and replication in longitudinal, diverse groups is needed.
