Vitamin C in protein

[Kickstart7]

I my understanding I thought taking vitamin C was a bad idea for protein and gains in general. Just what I thought. If I'm correct how come so many proteins have 50-100% of DV of vitamin C. Can anyone shed light on this?

It should be of no real detriment.

Those products are probably just MRP's offering vitamins & minerals as well as the protein

Why would it be? What effect would it have on the protein supposedly?

The DV is low anyway, most people consume far more thsn that in bolus (500+mg) which may interfere somewhat with hypertrophy

A massive bodybuilder at my local gym back home. Now I take everything with a grain of salt believe me, but he claims it inhibits the absorption of certain proteins and supplements that one takes. I was curious if there was even a small percentage of him being correct. He seems to use bro science much more than proven science lol .

Haha. its kind of like the saying everythings true on the internet. Everything you hear in the gym is true. Both are wrong. Pretty much whatever you hear dont believe until you see proven results for yourself. Thats how i go by it anyways.
