NUTRACHAMPION PODCAST EPISODE 5
PODCAST: The power of Vitamin C - Dr Anitra Carr on intriguing findings and striking the work-family balance
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a new wave of interest in vitamin C and other immunity-boosting ingredients. In our latest NutraChampion podcast we speak to leading specialist Assoc Prof Anitra Carr to separate the fact from fiction.
She is the director of nutrition in medicine research group at the Otago University in New Zealand and specialises in conducting clinical trials that evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin C in human health.
Her journey first began when she was doing a post-doc fellowship at the Linus Pauling Institute, the vitamin C research powerhouse, in the US.
However, halfway through her career, she made the choice of going on a nearly 10-year break to focus on parenting duties – a choice which she said she did not regret.
Listen to the podcast for more about balancing work and home life, the power of vitamin c, and why not all clinical trials should be treated equally.
