Intravenous infusion of high dose (10 g) vitamin C (IVC) is a common alternative cancer therapy. IVC results in millimolar levels of circulating ascorbate, which is proposed to generate cytotoxic quantities of H2O2 in the presence of transition metal ions. In this study we report on the in vitro and in vivo effects of millimolar ascorbate on erythrocytes. Addition of ascorbate to whole blood increased erythrocyte intracellular ascorbate approximately 35-fold. Within 10 min of ascorbate addition, we detected increased oxidation of e
