Vitamin C for COVID-19
6th treatment shown to reduce risk in September 2020, now with p = 0.00000004 from 74 studies, recognized in 12 countries.
Lower risk for mortality, ICU, hospitalization, and recovery.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,300+ studies for 116 treatments. c19early.org
Meta analysis of 22 studies with 6,831 patients showing significantly lower COVID-19 mortality and severity with vitamin C treatment.
7 meta analyses show significant improvements with vitamin C for mortality1-5, progression6, severity1,5, and cases7.
Currently there are 74 vitamin C for COVID-19 studies, showing 19% lower mortality [9‑27%], 9% lower ventilation [-12‑27%], 14% lower ICU admission [2‑24%], 19% lower hospitalization [7‑30%], and 3% fewer cases [-16‑19%].
risk of death, 36.0% lower, OR 0.64, p < 0.001, RR approximated with OR.
risk of severe case, 41.0% lower, OR 0.59, p < 0.001, RR approximated with OR.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates

Notably, vitamin C supplements significantly reduced the mortality risk (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.51–0.80, P = .0001) and the incidence of severity (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.43–0.80, P = .0006) in COVID-19 patients.</jats:p>\n </jats:sec>\n <jats:sec>\n <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>\n <jats:p>The findings suggest that vitamin C supplements may have a beneficial effect on clinical outcomes, as well as reducing severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, but more clinical randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the role of vitamin C in treating COVID-19.</jats:p>\n </jats:sec>\n <jats:sec>\n <jats:title>Systematic Review Registration</jats:title>\n <jats:p>PROSPERO registration no.
