Study Finds Zinc, Vitamin C Have No Impact on COVID-19 Symptoms

Zinc and Vitamin C fell short in a clinical trial after researchers found they made no significant difference in easing the duration of coronavirus symptoms.

Findings from the Cleveland Clinic were published in JAMA Network on Friday, drawing on results from April 27 to Oct. 14, when 214 coronavirus patients in Ohio and Florida outpatient care sites were given either 50 milligrams of high-dose zinc to be taken at night, 8,000 milligrams of Vitamin C to be taken several times throughout the day with meals, a combination of the two or standard care over a 10-day period.

These patients, averaging about 45 years old, were at home and answered virtual surveys about their symptoms, any adverse effects, hospitalizations and other medications. Any patient that required hospitalization was considered a treatment failure, researchers said. Data shows most of the patients were experiencing mild symptoms, with very few suffering severe cases.

The combination is quercetin and zinc, or hydroxy and zinc.

They keep testing these separately, and then telling us they aren’t effective.

Its the combination.

[know.your.why]

Ok. Sure.

I take them and I dont get sick so I take them again. Wash rinse repeat.

[Revel]

There have been a ton of studies that say the exact opposite. Many in other countries that are not influence by big pharma. I think I trust them a lot more than this one.

[EvilCapitalist]

I drink a glass of OJ every morning. Not to fight cold symptoms after I already have the cold, but to boost my immune system so I can fight a cold more quickly when I get it.

They always forget a few other factors. Calciferol, ivermectin, and others
This is not a valid study and these doctors are shams and should know better.

Quote from the Cleveland Clinic study:

“However, the biologic activity of zinc against viruses may require ionophores, such as pyrithione, to block viral replication.”

Just out of curiosity, what is the “standard care”?

[Captain7seas]

I conducted my own study the subject was my sister middle-age with a heart condition extremely sick for 10 days probably the flu I finally convince her to take high-dose vitamin C vitamin D three and zinc and quercertin. within two days she was back to normal I deem this a successful study.
By the way high dose is 10,000 mg three times a day using liposomal vitamin C not the regular vitamin C

[Steven Tyler]

Sounds like nobody died.

I call that a rousing success

[surroundedbyblue]

Yes! Thank you for writing this!

Liposomal vitamin C for the win!

[lepton]

Patients reached a 50 percent reduction in symptoms after 6.7 days with usual care, 5.5 days when treated with Vitamin C, 5.9 days with zinc and 5.5 days for the combo treatment.

“These findings suggest that treatment with zinc, ascorbic acid, or both does not affect SARS-CoV-2 symptoms,” study authors wrote.

---

That suggests the study was very small, as a reduction of sick time of 20% was considered not significant.

[lepton]

They keep testing these separately, and then telling us they aren’t effective.

Its the combination.

Or testing them late in the cycle against an effect they aren’t active against, rather than early when they might be.

[RummyChick]

i dont know about covid but liposomal C, a shot of jack, and manuka honey cures any kind of bug that I feel coming on.

Having to test my theory tonight after feeling something in my throat that feels like a cold coming on. Didnt notice anything until I started to hum and sounds were acting erratic.

Going to use zicam as well.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Incorrect use of zinc for CV-19. Fake study.

[montag813]

Notice how they PURPOSELY ignored the Quercetin+Zinc protocol, and just used zinc.

[CaptainK]

I also thought you were suppose to be proactive for supplements to be effective and take C, D and zinc each day.

“Hydroxychloroquine is the gun and Zinc is the bullet” - Dr. Vladimir Zelenko ( the physician most successful in treating Covid-19 and helping patients avoid hospitalization ).

See here:

The Synergy of HCQ and Zinc

Zelenko likens HCQ and zinc like a gun and a bullet. HCQ is the gun that shoots the zinc into the cell. Zinc is the silver bullet that kills the virus by inhibiting an enzyme associated with viral replication inside the cell. The antibiotic azithromycin is given to prevent bacterial pneumonia and other secondary bacterial infections that are common in COVID-19.

Where's the Beef(Hydoxychloroquin)?

This study proves NOTHING.
