According to research, vitamin C deficiency is an important cause of seizures. This study tested the susceptibility to seizures in mice with Alzheimer\u00b4s disease and low concentrations of vitamin C in the brain. The researchers found that low vitamin C concentrations increased the susceptibility to seizures. It was therefore concluded that adequate vitamin C levels may decrease the risk for conditions that are associated with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
