Ep. 127 – Dose, Source & Strategy: Vitamin C and D for Kids in Cancer Treatment

Not all vitamins work the same. What if the difference between helping your child heal… and unintentionally holding them back… comes down to how you're using something as simple as vitamin C or D? In this episode, we're talking about two of the most commonly used nutrients in cancer care(vitamin C and vitamin D) and why dose, source, and strategy matter more than most people realize. This conversation comes from a live office hours session with Dr. Charles Pennick, where we walk through how these nutrients actually function in the body, the difference between synthetic and whole-food forms, and how to think about dosing safely, especially during active treatment. We also explore the nuances that often get missed: why vitamin C isn't just ascorbic acid, how high-dose IV vitamin C works differently than oral forms, and why pairing vitamin D with K2 is essential for proper absorption and safety. If you've ever felt confused about supplements—or wondered if you're doing "too much" or "not enough". This episode will help you approach these foundational nutrients with more clarity and confidence.   LINKS   Guest Links Website: https://www.drcharlespenick.com/about    Recommended Tools & Resources: Fullscript (Practitioner-Grade Supplements): If you're looking for high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements to support your health, Season has created a hand-curated Fullscript dispensary with the exact products she trusts and uses in practice.
