What people say about Vitamin C and sleep
“The vitamin C assists with excreting the Adderall so that I can get 8-9 hours of sleep (20:00 - 04:30).”
“I do take vitamin c and drink a glass of oj at about 6pm, so it soaks up the stimulants, helps me sleep and keeps tolerance low.”
“I took 2500mg of Vitamin C a day for a few days, and had the worst heart palpitations, sleep apneas, bone pains and bleeding gums I've ever experienced.”
