A study published in Future Microbiology examined the impact of high-dose vitamin C supplementation on the human gut microbiome in 23 participants receiving oral or intravenous vitamin C. Using next-generation sequencing and metagenomic analysis of stool samples collected before and after supplementation, researchers found a significant increase—approximately threefold—in the relative abundance of the beneficial genus Bifidobacterium, along with increases in the families Bifidobacteriaceae and Lachnospiraceae.

These bacteria are associated with immune support, gut barrier integrity, and production of short-chain fatty acids. Although overall microbial diversity did not significantly change, the targeted rise in beneficial microbes suggests that vitamin C may exert some of its therapeutic effects through modulation of the gut microbiome, highlighting the need for larger controlled trials to confirm these findings.
