Vitamine C en E verkorten opnameduur na operaties.*

Vitamins C and E have even been shown to shorten the length of critically ill surgical patients' stays in intensive care units. This study was published in the Annals of Surgery. There were 595 patients enrolled in the study and randomized to receive a combination of vitamin C and vitamin E versus no vitamin supplementation. Multiple organ failure was significantly less likely to occur in patients receiving antioxidants versus just traditional care. Patients also receiving antioxidant supplementation had a shorter duration on respirators and an overall decrease in the length of their ICU stay.  (2003)
