In reply to help with Vitamin C for Bipolar plz, posted by bipolarspectrum on July 24, 2006, at 22:07:45
I think the reason why Vitamin C works for bipolar and depression is because blood levels of Vanadium are high in people suffering from those disorders, and Vitamin C lowers blood levels of that mineral and reduces your body's load of it.
References that link high vanadium levels to depression or bipolar disorder:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6791192&dopt=AbstractThey talk about how Vitamin C lowers levels of Vanadium, and as a result, reduces symptoms of bipolar and depression.
