Yes, I get a very good effect from vitamin C.
It has a number of properties which may make it usefull for stress.
It does supress cortisol as mentioned, but it also has a glutamate stabilizing property. Vitamin C also has a dopamine stabilizing property, probably why it can act as a mood stabilizer in bipolar.
There are studies documenting the antistress effect of vitamin C in animals.
I find that if I can't sleep, 500mg of vitamin C can really help.
Take Care,
