    Author: Schorah CJ, Newill A, Scott DL, Morgan DB.
    Journal: Lancet; 1979 Feb 24; 1(8113):403-5. PubMed ID: 84260.
    Abstract:
    The effect of oral vitamin C has been examined in elderly long-stay inpatients known to have low levels of vitamin C in their plasma and leucocytes. 1 g of vitamin C given daily for 28 days was shown to be associated with slight, but significant, clinical improvement and weight-gain when compared with placebo therapy.
