Vitamin C increases the body's immunity, so it is definitely beneficial against Covid-19.

Yes

It is beneficial

well,

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it can fight oxidative damage. When the immune system activates to kill a pathogen, it may also cause oxidative damage. This suggests that vitamin C could fight the damage that the disease-fighting process causes.

It also aids healthy immune function by supporting the development of white blood cells.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important vitamin with the following properties:

Anti-oxidation,

Free radical catcher,

Anti-inflammatory,

Cellular immunity,

Vascular integrity,

as a cofactor in the formation of endogenous catecholamines.

Since severe COVID-19 can cause sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the potential role of high doses of vitamin C in alleviating inflammation and vascular injury in patients with COVID-19 is being investigated.

Article Vitamin C and Coronavirus

High dose IV vitamin C has been used in China to help improve lung function in people with COVID-19. However, vitamin C’s effectiveness is still being tested. There’s no evidence to support the use of oral vitamin C supplements for COVID-19.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-c-coronavirus#6

Vitamin C is necessary for the immune response against bacterial and viral infections. Vitamin C is depleted in the process and needs to be renewed. Higher levels of serum vitamin C facilitate this process.

Not antiviral but a boast to one’s immune system which produces T White blood cells to combat viral infections. That’s how animals can fight off viruses.

If only our cell membrane is covered in salt molecules, viruses will not be able to attach itself to it. Salt molecules can break open the membrane of viruses and in effect kill them on contact.

Now Chinese teams are adding vitamin c to the list of potential therapies.

ZhiYong Peng, MD of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University recently registered a phase 2 clinical trial to test the efficacy of vitamin C infusions for the treatment of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) associated with the novel coronavirus.

The study description notes that vitamin C is an antioxidant that may help prevent cytokine-induced damage to the lungs. Cytokines are small proteins released by cells, which trigger inflammation and respond to infections, according to MedicineNet author. Severe lung inflammation with COVID-19 may result in respiratory distress and even death.

Vitamin C acts as a strong antioxidant and helps to scavenge all the damaged species that is why vitamin C is regarded as helpful in SARS-Cov-2 and other viral infections. Please follow the link below:

Thank you so much dear sir Dr Harasit Kumar Paul

Vitamin C strengthens the body’s immunity, protects it from many viruses, and stimulates the performance of human organs and fights aging. And with the emergence of the coronavirus, vitamin C also helps fight Covid 19.

Vitamin c is useful, but it is not the only thing that keeps you healthy. What about vitamin A, B, D, E, and K? You gonna neglect those as well? Nope. can’t neglect those. You need all the nutrients, including the calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, sodium, and potassium.

The Daily Recommended Allowance of Vitamin C is 40–90milligrams (depending on age). The maximum tolerable limit for Vitamin C is between 400 milligrams and 2 grams. 200 grams is beyond excessive.

We are all busy changing practice systems to cope with the new reality that we face.  The amount of change our teams have achieved in a short space of time is staggering. We know that many of you have also started to think about particular groups of patients who are at high risk and specific actions to take.

Can we please encourage you to start by ensuring all people who are living with severe frailty, especially those in care homes, have an opportunity to discuss and agree an individualised advance care plan. Please read our advanced care planning guidance for more information, including additional actions you’ll need to consider for care home residents.

Thank you so much dear sir Dr Voskoboinick Andrey

Interesting question

Vit-C is a potential antioxidant, and acts as a coenzyme in many biosynthetic pathways which are concerned with immunity system of humans; thus provides for some degree of defense against Corona virus.
