Why it matters for COVID-19?
Vitamin C contact kills all microbes.
We can use Vitamin C internally, from the inside-out.
Vitamin C is vital. Studies have demonstrated the powerful anti-viral action of Vitamin C for decades.
It is a powerful antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory activity and supports the body’s ability to fight infection.
Vitamin C boosts the immune system by acting directly on white blood cells called neutrophils, helping them with their mobility to literally mop up (phagocytosis) bacteria and viruses that enter the system.
Due to its powerful antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps protect your body from producing a cytokine storm.
If you take the sufficient upper limit of oral Vitamin C daily, as directed below, you will be giving your body the ability to throw off this infection.
Vitamin C is currently being used in China against COVID-19 coronavirus and has been officially recommended by the Shanghai government, which prilimenary studies have demonstrated coronavirus can be dramatically slowed with high doses of Vitamin C.
In fact, research is now underway (see link below) to study the clinical efficacy and safety of vitamin C for the clinical management of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) - the severe pneumonia which has been caused by the new coronavirus strain - through randomised controlled trials with Covid-19 patients in hospital during this current outbreak. The administration of which is via IV at doses of 12 grams (2 x daily) to help reduce cytokine induced damage to the lungs.
Vitamin C also helps to support a healthy stress response and so may have added benefit when worries are heightened.
Of course, the average man on the street cannot access intravenous Vitamin C. However, Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid is also highly effective when taken correctly in the dosage amounts as outlined in the protocols below.
