Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 8 records that name Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

8 studies naming Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

The effects of haloperidol and amphetamine on ascorbic acid and uric acid in caudate and nucleus accumbens of rats as measured by voltammetry in vivo.

Life sciences · 1990 · PMID 2402194

Comparative StudyAnimal study

“Amphetamine-induced increases in uric acid were more nearly dose-related than changes in ascorbic acid. Of the two compounds, uric acid seems more likely to be associated with dopamine.”

Mueller · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C in its title.

On the mechanism of d-amphetamine-induced changes in glutamate, ascorbic acid and uric acid release in the striatum of freely moving rats.

British journal of pharmacology · 2000 · PMID 10711358

Animal study

“These results suggest that d-amphetamine-induced increases in AA and uric acid and decreases in glutamate concentrations are triggered at nigral sites. The changes in aspartate levels may be evoked by at least two mechanisms: striatal (mediated by inhibitory dopaminergic receptors) and nigral (activation of amino acid carrier-mediated uptake).”

Miele et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C in its title.

Ascorbic acid delays the development of tolerance to amphetamine induced anorexia but does not affect the reverse tolerance which develops to the locomotor activity.

Indian journal of experimental biology · 1994 · PMID 7959933

Animal study

“On the contrary, it did not alter the pattern of reverse tolerance to increased locomotor activity. The results suggest that modulation of dopamine receptor sensitivity by ascorbic acid may be the reason for the delay in development of tolerance to amphetamine induced anorexia.”

Gitanjali et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C in its title.

Analysis of the mechanism of d-amphetamine-and apomorphine-induced changes of ascorbic acid catabolism in discrete brain areas of the rat.

Pharmacological research · 1991 · PMID 2068053

Animal study

“In remaining brain, apomorphine (single) and d-amphetamine (repeated) treatment increased DHAA/AA ratio; such increase was observed also when haloperidol was associated with apomorphine or d-amphetamine; moreover, haloperidol by itself increased AA oxidation, although to a lesser extent than it did in hypothalamus.”

Desole et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C in its title.

Repeated administration of high doses of amphetamine increases release of ascorbic acid in caudate but not nucleus accumbens.

Brain research · 1989 · PMID 2765922

Animal study

“Furthermore, in the nucleus accumbens the amphetamine-induced increase in AA was very similar on all test days, but in the caudate the increase in AA produced by 5 mg/kg amphetamine was progressively larger on each test day. Thus AA seems to be regulated differently in the caudate and nucleus accumbens.”

Mueller · From the abstract

Names both Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine and Vitamin C in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine, Vitamin C, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
