Early research coming out of China indicates that high dose vitamin C may help lessen the severity of COVID-19 infections.
Here’s a link to learn more: https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/03/high-doses-of-vitamin-c-used-to-prevent-and-treat-coronavirus-infections-in-china/ .
Note that they administer vitamin C via IV in the study mentioned. If taken orally, I would highly recommend NOT using ascorbic acid, but instead use a fully buffered mineral ascorbate, such as C Aspa Scorb to minimize negative gastrointestinal effects and to achieve a sufficiently high dosing.
It looks like you are recommending a product that is out of stock.
Hi Lew – thanks for the heads up; in addition to my previous post, here’s another option: https://nphc.nutridyn.com/vitamin-c-1000-complex –

Dr. Chad, Have you advised interested patients regarding the Vitamin C flush/tolerance test?
Hi Dr. Stoner,
Definitely! In fact, I think this is likely the best way to determine how much vitamin C each person needs. However, if someone is already feeling ill, it will be difficult for them to take the full amount, so we are recommending that people get in as much as they can. If they develop diarrhea, we have them decrease the amount.
Dr. Chad
I’ve received several inquires as to other sources of vitamin C. Any fully buffered mineral ascorbate would work – look for multiple mineral ascorbates (i.e., magnesium ascorbate, potassium ascorbate, zinc ascorbate, etc.), such as Ultra Potent C (Metagenics) or Perque Potent C (Perque).
