Vitamin C considered effective in reducing CRPS associated with distal radius fractures
Vitamin C, a water-soluble compound that's found in a wide array of fruits and vegetables, is essential for a number of important bodily functions and is recommended to improve general health.

To evaluate vitamin C's specific role in preventing CRPS, two randomized control trials were analyzed.
