Large doses of vitamin C are being administered to patients in intensive care at certain hospitals in New York, Newsweek has confirmed with a spokesperson for Northwell Health.
They confirmed reports that patients testing positive with COVID-19 were in some cases being treated with large doses of vitamin C—among other drugs—at their clinics.
The antioxidant is being administered intravenously in quantities far exceeding the daily recommended dose, which is 90 milligrams for men and 75 milligrams for women as recommended by the National Institutes of Health.
Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A and D, can be quite toxic at high doses, but vitamin C is reasonably safe as it is easily excreted, Peter McCaffery, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Aberdeen in the U.K., told Newsweek. It is also known that intravenous vitamin C is relatively safe when applied under clinical supervision, McCaffery added.
But perhaps most significantly in this case, the vitamin plays a role in the body’s healing process. It can protect cells against harmful free radicals, which are found in cigarette smoke, air pollution and fried foods among other things, and may cause a number of health problems, including cancer and heart disease.
There have been studies looking at its effectiveness against the common cold, some cases of which are caused by another virus from the broader coronavirus family. Some of the more promising studies suggest it can lessen the severity of common cold symptoms and reduce the number of days it takes to recover.
Researchers are looking at what benefit, if any, vitamin C might have on COVID-19 patients. Scientists at Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan, China, have begun a clinical trial to determine just that, but no results have yet been published. The completion date is scheduled for the end of September, 2020, when they hope to have shown that vitamin C reduces the inflammatory effects of the disease in the lung.
If successful, this action would be, in part, due to the antioxidant effect of vitamin C, said McCaffery.

Of course a natural question that comes to mind is, would these patients have coronavirus in the first place if they had already been taking large doses of vitamin C? There’s currently a lot of debate over whether or not vitamin C could potentially be a preventative for coronavirus, but the fact is, vitamin C is the most effective nutritive support for a strong immune system – the very thing that defends the body from invasive diseases.
Here’s the other question and just why I will put the spotlight on Infinity-C: just what are the highest vitamin C foods? Camu berry, Acerola cherry, and Amla berry – the very ingredients of Infinity-C. The addition of astragalus root, shilajit, and ginger then further advances the immune boosting performance of Infinity-C. These are the reasons I am totally confident Infinity-C truly is the most immunity strengthening
Infinity-C delivers 1000mg of real vitamin C per serving purely from plant foods for a 100% absorption rate. Alternatively, ascorbic acid, lab-produced from genetically modified corn (10-15% absorption), is what comprises the other all-too-common products marketed as vitamin C. Amazingly, just one tablespoon of Infinity-C contains the vitamin C content of fourteen oranges, making Infinity-C an incomparable immune-boosting powerhouse.
So another question is, what if these twenty three hospitals we’re using Infinity-C instead of ascorbic acid? Click below to learn more.
