Vitamin C (The Structural Architect)

Also Known As: Ascorbic Acid, Calcium Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbate

Compound Type: Essential Vitamin / Antioxidant / Collagen Co-Factor

★★★★★ (5/5 Stars) ESSENTIAL

Vitamin C is often dismissed as a simple immune booster, but for Penis Enlargement, it is the single most important nutrient for safety and recovery. Why? Because the limiting factor of penis size—the Tunica Albuginea—is made almost entirely of collagen.

Vitamin C is the biological “catalyst” required to synthesize new collagen. Without adequate Vitamin C, your body physically cannot repair the micro-tears caused by extending or pumping, leading to poor gains and increased injury risk.

How Does Vitamin C Increase Penis Size?

It acts as the structural foundation for growth. While tension creates the stimulus, Vitamin C provides the chemical ability to rebuild the tissue larger and stronger.

The Science: Collagen & Nitric Oxide

1. The Tunica Builder (Collagen Synthesis):
The penis is encased in a tough sheath called the Tunica Albuginea. To grow, you must stretch this sheath and rebuild it. Vitamin C is the essential co-factor for the enzymes lysyl hydroxylase and prolyl hydroxylase, which stabilize the collagen fibers that make up the Tunica.

2. Protecting the Pump (NO Stabilization):
Nitric Oxide (NO) is an unstable molecule that degrades quickly. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that “scavenges” free radicals (superoxide) that destroy NO. This helps your pump supplements (like Citrulline) last significantly longer.

3. Preventing Discoloration:
Aggressive pumping can sometimes lead to hemosiderin staining (dark spots) or lymph fluid buildup. Vitamin C strengthens the capillary walls, reducing the likelihood of “red spots” (petechiae) and keeping the skin healthy.

💪 The “Iron Skin” Stack:

To maximize tissue remodeling, combine **1,000mg Vitamin C** with **MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)**. Vitamin C builds the collagen, while MSM provides the sulfur bonds to make that collagen flexible and strong. This is crucial for preventing tissue hardness (fibrosis).

✔ The Verdict: ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL

5/5 Stars. You cannot effectively grow collagen-based tissue without Vitamin C. It is cheap, safe, and necessary. Every man performing PE exercises (hanging, pumping, or manual) should be taking a high-dose Vitamin C supplement daily to ensure rapid recovery.

Optimal Dosage
1g – 2g
Divided Doses
Take with meals

Safety Profile & Side Effects

Potential Side Effects:

Bowel Tolerance: Taking too much at once can cause loose stools (osmotic diarrhea).
Stomach Acid: Plain Ascorbic Acid can be acidic; use “Buffered” if sensitive.

Interactions (Caution):

Iron: Significantly increases Iron absorption (good for most, bad for Hemochromatosis).
Kidney Stones: Drink plenty of water if you have a history of oxalate stones.

Perfect Synergy With:

🧬

MSM (Sulfur)

The ultimate “Tissue Repair” stack. Works with C to prevent scar tissue.
⛽

L-Citrulline

Vitamin C prevents the breakdown of the NO produced by Citrulline.

Reality Check: Nutritional supplements create the biological environment for growth, but they do not cause size gains on their own.
