Biochemical Effects and Therapeutic Application of Vitamin C (C6H8O6) on COVID-19 Infection

Abstract:

The current pandemic of COVID-19 infection worries the world, due to high morbidity and mortality. Various strategies for infection control, including nutritional interventions, have been considered, given the extremely rapid spread of the disease, the lack of specific effective and safe antiviral treatment and the difficulty of having a vaccine in the near future. Vitamin C, long known for its antioxidant and anti-infective effects, has been analyzed from the perspective of biochemical mechanisms with potential benefits in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. Favorable clinical results have been reported after intravenous administration of high doses of Vitamin C, but confirmation of these data requires extensive studies.
