This question probably should be answered by someone more knowledgable in the science of chemistry and nutrients. However I have heard that ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant which would probably help fight the ill effects of bacteria and other microorganisms in the digestive system. Much scientific knowledge is gained through trail and error and I am not too sure of how much research has been done in this area. The Doctor that I heard speak on this subject stated Vitamin C is a total cure- all against almost any problem the boidy faces. That it should be used in extremely high strength amounts, i.e., 6000 mg daily. Thank You
