What is remarkable about vitamin C is that it is an antioxidant, an anti-viral, and also anti-inflammatory. It’s an impressive three-in-one defender. Not one adverse event has been reported in any published vitamin C clinical trials in COVID-19 patients.
the review of 12 clinical trials shows is that “intravenous vitamin C may improve oxygenation parameters, reduce inflammatory markers, decrease days in hospital and reduce mortality, particularly in the more severely ill patients.”
The scientific evidence is clear: vitamin C taken when infected can reduce Covid symptoms and duration of illness. So why aren’t we being told to supplement with vitamin C?
“Oral doses of 8 grams per day have been shown to increase the rate of recovery from symptomatic infection [of Covid] by 70%. For more critically ill patients, trials using doses of 6-24g a day intravenously have shown positive benefits in terms of increased survival, and reduced hospital stay, improved oxygenation or reduced inflammation.”

Gotta say: head in hands with nutritional medicine being ignored during this Covid crisis. I hope one good thing to come out of this is that people wake up to the importance of nutrients like Vitamin D and Vitamin C for a start.
As one doctor/researcher who is not being allowed to use a protocol that has been shown to help Covid says in this piece:
This case is about doctors, having the ability to honor their Hippocratic Oath, to follow evidence-based medicine, and to treat our patients the best we know how. I refuse to watch another patient die from COVID-19 knowing that I was not allowed to give them proven treatments that could have saved their life.”

But Vitamin C exacerbates diffuse pain I get from high oxalates -so not sure of solution
Maybe concentrate on other angles like Vitamin D, A and zinc, see my protocol suggestions in the free Covid factsheet. How about powders that are high in Vitamin C like Baobab, would that set you off less maybe?
