A Retrospective Study of High-dose Intravenous Vitamin C in Critically Ill Covid-19 Patients

Kian et al., Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, doi:10.5005/jaypee-journals-10071-24667.4, Mar 2024
Vitamin C for COVID-19
6th treatment shown to reduce risk in September 2020, now with p = 0.00000004 from 74 studies, recognized in 22 countries.
Lower risk for mortality, ICU, hospitalization, and recovery.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,500+ studies for 121 treatments. c19early.org
Retrospective 54 critically ill COVID-19 patients showing better outcomes with 6g/day intravenous vitamin C vs. 12g/day.

Objectives High-dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) has been investigated as the adjuvant therapy in critically ill Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, but the appropriate optimal doses are still unclear. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients treated with 2 different dosing regimens of HDIVC (12g per day versus 6g per day).
