Vitamin C is one of the most misunderstood nutrients in the carnivore space. This episode breaks down where vitamin C recommendations actually came from, why RDAs doubled in just 26 years, and how rising sugar intake likely drove that change. I share how glucose competes with vitamin C for absorption, why vitamin C was removed from modern nutrition labels, and why true deficiency is rare, even without fruits and vegetables.
I also address scurvy myths, the sailor paradox, breast milk’s low vitamin C content, and why many people thrive on a carnivore diet without supplementation. Finally, I cover when vitamin C may be appropriate (immune stress, adrenal strain, anemia, detox protocols) and why excess vitamin C can backfire by increasing oxalates and inflammation.
Carnivore doesn’t fail because of a lack of vitamin C. But context, physiology, and restraint matter more than blanket supplementation.
