A member asked:
I've heard that high-dose vitamin c is being used to treat patients with covid-19. does it work? and should i take vitamin c to prevent infection with the covid-19 virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clinical trials: Clinical trials are starting with use of high -dose vitamin C (REF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7137406/). Currently there is not scientific evidence showing that it is effective against COVID 19 but we don't have results from the studies yet.
