Vitamin C for COVID-19
7th treatment shown to reduce risk in September 2020
 
*, now known with p = 0.00000011 from 68 studies, recognized in 10 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.

PSM retrospective 207 hospitalized patients in China, 46 treated with diammonium glycyrrhizinate and vitamin C, showing lower risk of ARDS with treatment.
This is the 31st of 68 COVID-19 controlled studies for vitamin C, which collectively show efficacy with p=0.00000011.
19 studies are RCTs, which show efficacy with p=0.0021.
risk of death/intubation, 24.5% lower, RR 0.75, p = 0.74, treatment 1 of 46 (2.2%), control 14 of 115 (12.2%), NNT 10.0, odds ratio converted to relative risk, primary outcome.
risk of ARDS, 73.3% lower, RR 0.27, p = 0.002, treatment 7 of 46 (15.2%), control 41 of 115 (35.7%), NNT 4.9, odds ratio converted to relative risk.

Aims: To observe the effect of combination treatment of giammonium glycyrrhizinate and vitamin 36 C (DV)on the prognoses of patients with COVID-19. 37 Methods: This retrospective observational study recruited 207 COVID-19 patients from Tongji 38 Hospital,patients were assigned to DV and non-DV groups on the basis of the DV treatment. To 39 make the results more credible, a propensity-score matching (PSM) approach was adopted at a 1:3 40 ratio to determine the participants. Logistic analysis was used to assess the effect of DV therapy in 41 the progress of COVID-19. 42 Results: In the DV group, the new onset incidence rate of acute respiratory distress syndrome 43 (ARDS) after admission was clearly lower than that in the non-DV group (DV vs non-DV groups, 44 15.2% vs 35.7%; P=0.002). Compared with the non-DV group, the DV group showed fewer new 45 onset of complications (such as ARDS, acute liver injury and acute myocardial injury) (DV vs non-46 DV groups,19.6% vs 46.1%; P=0.000). Moreover, DG+VC may help to recover the count of NK 47 cells and decrease the level of sIL-2R. 48 Conclusions: DG+VC might be a promising candidate for preventing the deterioration of COVID-49 19 patients, which is worthy to be studied in large and perspective cohort. 50
