Vitamin C can however oxidise and degrade quickly (especially as a skin care supplement), so it’s best to eat foods rich in vitamin C or combine acsorbic acid with fresh fruit juice for added enzymes. Lipophilic vitamin C (ie. infused in lipids) can be better absorbed in the digestive system compared to water-soluble supplements. In cases where the digestive system cannot tolerate high doses, or in acute disease states, intravenous vitamin C therapy has shown impressive recovery results.

Intravenous vitamin C therapy successful in treatment of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in China and Japan

Early in March of 2020 the government of Shanghai, China, announced its official recommendation that COVID-19 should be treated with high amounts of intravenous vitamin C.

“The Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) recommends intravenous vitamin C (IVC) 12.5/25g (12,500 – 25,000 mg) for acute viral infections (influenza, herpes zoster, common cold, rubella, mumps, etc.) and virus mimetic infections (idiopathic sudden hearing loss, Bell’s palsy). In adults, IVC 12.5g is given for early stage illness with mild symptoms, and IVC 25g for moderate to severe symptoms. IVC is usually administered once or twice a day for 2-5 continuous days, along with or without general treatments for viral infections.”
