Yes, I know there are health care professionals hear that poo poo the idea of Vitamin C helping with sepsis.

I don't care.

I take Liposomal C at the first sign of illness. I don't take it daily because it is way to nasty for me to deal with..almost puke every time I do it.

They may claim Vitamin C doesn’t help with prevention, but seeing is believing. I literally only get about 1/10 of the number of colds I used to get since I started taking Vitamin C daily along with zinc periodically several years ago. (And that was years before I found out my Vitamin D was low and started taking that too.) In fact, the only time I got the flu since then was a time I forgot to take my C for a few days in a row.

Nicotinamide Riboside would be much more effective since the immune system heavily relies on NAD+

I take liposomal Vitamin C daily and haven’t caught one cold this winter. I know this sounds like a post hoc fallacy, but I’ve caught one or two every winter before.

This time, nothing. (knocks on wood)

Vitamin C. Lots of it. Add Vitamin D3 ̀000 to 10000 units a day and L-Lysine. All have antiviral properties. D3 especially, or sunshine in the summer in the non tropical climes may just be the magic bullet for this virus. It prevents flu and colds and a massive dose can end the worst flu in 8 hours. I suspect it is effective against respiratory viruses in general. I have had no viral infection in the 14 years I have taken the D3 (I work nights and sleep days so sunshine is not a factor). In any event it at least may prevent this WuHan crap and certainly does no harm and is cheap.

I also heard housing to take zinc supplements.

I live in Arizona. The hot part. Never get sick. I have over 1100 hrs of sick time on the books - Don’t care, cause I’ll never use it. I’d retire before that.

Also, I have Orange Trees and squeeze my own juice for me and my kids and wife. I can produce a quart per day for a couple of months. Then, it’s on to the store bought stuff, or our multitude of neighbors giving it away.

Never sick.

I don’t know if it can or cannot, but on reading the headline, I ran to the kitchen and downed a quick glass of OJ. Doesn’t hurt to get a little vitamin C in the system regardless.

Colloidal
Silver

Silver is in 20000 plus medical products
It’s mandatory in all hospital HVACR filters

I almost died from a very bad lung infection. That's when I extensively researched Vitamin C (almost 25 years ago). Vitamin C is a lifesaver for me. Since taking Vitamin C, I have only missed four days of work because of illness.

Among other vitamins mentioned earlier by others, I take on average 15-20,000mg of Vitamin C per day. I may skip 1-2 days a week. I use Pharmaceutical Grade Vitamin C crystals. I mixed them in with warm water and let it dissolve. I use powder because it would take too many pills for the same dosage, lol.

The two occasions I caught a bad bug, I took a regimen of 20,000 mg every 2-4 hours. I have taken up to 160,000mg in a 24 hour period. Whatever bug I had was knocked out within 48 hours. No Antibiotics in over 20 years.

The body will tell you when it has absorbed all the Vitamin C it needs; it will "flush" any excess.
