[Supplement] 3 Stars Vitamin C 1 to 3 grams daily [Why] 
Studies have shown that supplementing with vitamin C helps to normalize stress-hormone levels. Animal studies suggest that supplementing with vitamin C can reduce blood levels of stress-related hormones and other measures of stress.91 , 92 , 93 , 94 Controlled studies of athletes have shown that vitamin C supplementation (1,000 to 1,500 mg per day) can reduce stress hormone levels after intense exercise.95 , 96 Surgery patients given 2,000 mg per day of vitamin C during the week before and after surgery had a more rapid return to normal of several stress-related hormones compared with patients not given vitamin C.97 In a double-blind trial, young adults took 3,000 mg per day of vitamin C for two weeks, then were given a psychological stress test involving public speaking and mental arithmetic.98 Compared with a placebo group, those taking vitamin C rated themselves less stressed, scored better on an anxiety questionnaire, had smaller elevations of blood pressure, and returned sooner to lower levels of an adrenal stress hormone following the stress test.
