If wildfire smoke is messing with you, it’s time to call in some reinforcements—starting with vitamin C. And when I say “some,” I mean as much as your body can handle (your bowels will be the first to tell you when you’ve hit your limit 😂).
If you don’t usually take vitamin C, aim for 2000 mg today—but split it up over the day. Your body can only absorb so much at a time, and the rest just turns into fancy p*e. Skip the timed-release stuff for now; it’s not as helpful in situations like this. Liposomal vitamin C is a great choice here—you can take extra without worrying too much about side effects.
If you do already take vitamin C, you can bump up your dose to “bowel tolerance.” Yep, that means exactly what it sounds like. So maybe don’t stray too far from a bathroom until you figure out your upper limit.
Bonus points if you’ve got some NAC (N-acetylcysteine) on hand—add that in too.
Your lungs (and the rest of your body) will thank you.
