Research shows high dose of oral liposomal Vitamin C helps Covid patients recover faster

The spread of the coronavirus remains unabated even after six months of damage. There are no targeted antiviral medications or vaccines available yet to fight the disease.

But a study has revealed that high dose of oral liposomal Vitamin C in a drink form, when administered to adults hospitalised with Covid-19 along with highly nutritious food, paved the path for faster recovery.

The findings were published in a research article titled The Role of High-dose Liposomal Oral Vitamin C Treatment for Covid-19.

Experts, while recommending a high dose of Vitamin C as an adjunct therapy to combat the infection, also advise frequent hand-washing with soap for at least 20 seconds, use of hand sanitizers, avoiding coughing/sneezing openly, not touching eyes, nose or mouth, social distancing, wearing a face mask and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, as the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection.

Sharing details of the findings, Manickam Mahalingam, Chairman, ABT Group, said the patients involved in the reaserch were among the earliest cases of the dreaded virus in the country.

“We made a comparative study with a batch of 50 patients, who were given 500 mg of regular Vitamin C twice every day, while another 50 (treatment batch) were given high dose (4 g palatable liposomal Vitamin C) a day,” he said.

The medical records of the patients were analysed, and the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, treatment and outcome data was collected and reviewed by internal medicine specialists. All patients were tested for Covid-19 from a naso-pharyngeal swab by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The patients were subjected to nasal swab and repeat RT-PCR on the 10th, 11th and 14th day of admission.

Patients treated with high dose oral Vitamin C (in drink form) had an increased test rate of RT-PCR negative. “This gave us a ray of hope. The expected rate of clearance is 14 days, but the treatment batch showed clearance even on the 10th day,” said Manickam, who incidentally was the brain behind the formulation.

It may be recalled that this drink was cleared for supply to Covid-19 patients at the Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital and Omandurar Hospital in Chennai, apart from being administered to the patients at the General Hospital in Cuddalore.

Penyelidikan menunjukkan dos vitamin C liposomal oral yang tinggi membantu pesakit Covid pulih lebih cepat

Revolusi LN

Penyebaran coronavirus tetap tidak terkendali walaupun setelah enam bulan mengalami kerosakan. Belum ada ubat antivirus atau vaksin yang disasarkan untuk memerangi penyakit ini.

Tetapi satu kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa dosis tinggi vitamin C liposomal oral dalam bentuk minuman, apabila diberikan kepada orang dewasa yang dirawat di rumah sakit dengan Covid-19 bersama dengan makanan yang sangat berkhasiat, membuka jalan untuk pemulihan yang lebih cepat.

Penemuan ini diterbitkan dalam artikel penyelidikan bertajuk Peranan Rawatan Vitamin C Oral Liposomal Dosis Tinggi untuk Covid-19.

Pakar, sambil mengesyorkan dos Vitamin C yang tinggi sebagai terapi tambahan untuk memerangi jangkitan, juga menasihati agar kerap mencuci tangan dengan sabun sekurang-kurangnya 20 saat, penggunaan pembersih tangan, mengelakkan batuk / bersin secara terbuka, tidak menyentuh mata, hidung atau mulut, jarak sosial, memakai topeng muka dan membasmi kuman pada permukaan yang sering disentuh, sebagai kaedah paling berkesan untuk mencegah penyebaran jangkitan.

Berkongsi maklumat mengenai penemuan itu, Manickam Mahalingam, Ketua, ABT Group, mengatakan bahawa pesakit yang terlibat dalam kajian semula adalah antara kes awal virus yang ditakuti di negara ini.

“Kami membuat kajian perbandingan dengan 50 pesakit, yang diberi 500 mg Vitamin C biasa dua kali sehari, sementara 50 lagi (kumpulan rawatan) diberi dosis tinggi (4 g Vitamin C liposomal yang sedap) sehari,” katanya kata.

Rekod perubatan pesakit dianalisis, dan data epidemiologi, klinikal, makmal, rawatan dan hasil dikumpulkan dan dikaji oleh pakar perubatan dalaman. Semua pesakit diuji untuk Covid-19 dari sapu naso-faring dengan reaksi rantai polimerase transkripsi terbalik masa nyata (RT-PCR).

Pesakit menjalani sapuan hidung dan mengulang RT-PCR pada hari kemasukan ke-10, ke-11 dan ke-14.

Pesakit yang dirawat dengan Vitamin C oral dosis tinggi (dalam bentuk minuman) mengalami peningkatan kadar ujian negatif RT-PCR. “Ini memberi kami sinar harapan. Kadar pelepasan yang diharapkan adalah 14 hari, tetapi kumpulan rawatan menunjukkan pelepasan walaupun pada hari ke-10, ”kata Manickam, yang kebetulan adalah otak di belakang formulasi.

Mungkin diingat bahawa minuman ini dibersihkan untuk bekalan kepada pesakit Covid-19 di Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital dan Omandurar Hospital di Chennai, selain diberikan kepada para pasien di General Hospital di Cuddalore.
