Wuhan: Will the test take place, will the large dose of vitamin C coronary beat the vitamin?

Many of us, when the cold season and the viroses approach, rush into an additional dose of vitamin C. Doctors in China are now trying to test its effect even on the Coronavirus.

The world spends nearly $1 billion annually on supplements of vitamin C. Its popularity when it comes to the fight against the flu circle stems from a theory that the winner Nobel Prize scientist Linus Pauling had originally dropped in the 1970s. He was convinced of the benefits of vitamin C, and personally took 3 gp a day, though much of his research was later rejected.

Of course, when it comes to infections or viruses like flu, it is acknowledged that it is an important part of the immune response and is quickly digested as it helps to encourage the production of white blood cells that fight the disease.

However, numerous studies have failed to support Pauling's theory of vitamin C as a preventative supplement, and according to a 2017 report by Cochrane Colaboration, the most we can expect from getting a dose higher than the daily average of 1,000 mg of vitamin C, reduces the life expectancy of a lightning by 8 percent or 0.4 days.

Higher doses, meanwhile, can shorten the disease; a research by Helsinki University in 2017 found that daily doses of 6g to 8g can shrink cold symptoms to 19%. But while there may be an impact on the fight against disease, general vitamin C was not found to have a preventative effect, so it does not help you to avoid getting sick.

In addition, scientists in Wuhan are conducting tests on over 120 patients to see if the high doses of this vitamin can help in the fight against Avid 19. /Top Channel
