In a prospective, single-blind, 12-wk study, serum lipids were measured serially in nine normal male volunteers before and during oral administration of megadose ascorbic acid (1 g vitamin C/day). Study results revealed no significant effect of vitamin therapy on serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, or calculated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Megadose ascorbic acid therapy is not effective in elevating serum high-density lipoprotein- cholesterol in normal adult men.
