The authors are using the term pharmacological to refer to plasma concentrations that are only achievable by IV administration.

Per the authors, the body regulates Vitamin C to 80-100uM so you can't just consume more of it. IV administration however gets around the natural intestinal absorption limits.

So unless you plan to shoot up your supplements, this doesn't seem applicable to typical person just yet. Though I must say I'm imagining a funny skit where we see what appears to be a drug den of people shooting up and it's a bunch of natural herbalist types cooking up and injecting vitamin c from a pile of oranges.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark a and guess you're Gen Z, teens to early twenties.

I found most of the characters experiences somewhat relatable but that's because I've gone through many of the life stages experienced by the characters. But if I'm looking through just a younger experience, there's really just Albie to relate to. So if I don't get Albie then there's not much left in the shows characters for me to relate to.

This isn't to say young people cannot enjoy or relate with shows that having just older cast. It's more that, this show in particular focuses on people at varying stages of life and being able to relate there may help.
