These metals can come from sources such as pollution, cigarette smoke, and contaminated food or water. Their presence in arterial plaque may contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress, potentially worsening cardiovascular health.

There is no evidence to suggest that either form of vitamin C (acidic or non-acidic) has a significant effect on arterial plaque.

However, the development of arterial plaque is typically a gradual process that can start as early as childhood and progress over many years. It is influenced by risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
