SUBJECT: Special Edition for Labor Day Happiness

In 1996 one of the greatest vitamin C authorities, Gladys Block at UC-Berkeley, told me of an unpublished study that found people with the highest serum vitamin C levels were the happiest. How delightful to read in AJCN this month that hospital patients given 500 mg of vitamin C twice daily improves mood and reduces psychological stress (1)! My undergraduate class at Beloit College discovered that 500 mg of vitamin C taken twice daily is optimal for producing the highest level of vitamin C in the body (2). How happy it makes me to find that dosage is finally getting recognition.
