How it works
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) lowers urinary pH when excreted. Many uropathogens including E. coli grow poorly in acidic urine. High urinary vitamin C may also have direct antimicrobial properties.
More useful as prevention than acute treatment. High doses (>1000mg/day) may increase kidney stone risk in susceptible individuals. Not a substitute for antibiotics in active infection.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
