The Effects of Vitamin C on Acute-Exercise in Postmenopausal Females
Sponsor: University of Virginia
Summary
This study is looking at whether vitamin C can help improve oxidative stress and blood vessel health in females after menopause. We will see if taking different amounts of vitamin C for a few days changes how the body handles stress from exercise. This could lead to safer ways to protect females from heart disease without using hormone therapy.
