Background: Vitamin C dissociates to ascorbate at physiological pH and is not organically synthesized by the human body. Vitamin C can function as an antioxidant and may mitigate endothelial oxidative stress in sepsis. (Amrein 2018) A small, single-center, before-and-after study utilized a sepsis cocktail consisting of IV thiamine, hydrocortisone, and vitamin C and discovered a significant decrease in mortality compared to the control group.
