I don't know what to believe anymore, some sources have positive results while media says it doesn't provide any benefits. How much mg does an average male have to take daily if he falls sick? I want my dad to take it if he get's the Holocough, he's old and smoked for 20 years, I'm worried that it'll kill him
It can't hurt. Vitamin C is good for your immune system.
Bentley Gomez
yes, also zinc, garlic, ginger, onions (not soi) and honey all help too. herbs in general can be helpful.
Jose Perry
It won't do you any harm so go for it
Angel Perez
C you on the other side.
Blake Green
You need high doses for it to do anything. Using intravenous vitamin c is the best way to go if you fall sick.
John Thomas
I've heard Anons say that you should take 3 grams a day. That's a fucking huge amount. I don't understand anything about biology but isn't a too big dose of Vitamin C bad for your kidneys? Especially when you take it over the course of several weeks?
Carson Sanders
>intravenous
No way doing this as a layman
Zachary Jackson
Hyperdosing vitamin c is a meme. Just stick with the recommended amounts.
Justin Martin
max daily recommended amount is 2 grams. Take 3 for a while and enjoy your hypervitaminosis lad
This is all beginner tin foil pepper stuff. Read the web instead of coming here to ask gamer faggots what they would do.
Jose Jenkins
Just eat one raw Jalapeno a day. More vit C in that than there is in one orange. And stop popping pills/supplements. Body doesn't even absorb that shit.
Mason Long
Vitamin C helps in building antibodies. But since your body has not even met the coronavirus, it doesn't know how the shape of the antigens on the coronavirus is like because it doesn't have the memory cells from a prior exposure (vaccine or you survived the virus before). So eating a shit ton of Vit-C doesn't do shit if your body doesn't have the memory cells to produce the correspondingly-shaped antibodies for the antigens on Coronavirus.
Just wait for a vaccine, or sign up for a clinical trial. Chances are if they don't put you in the placebo group, you'll get the experimental vaccine.
Gavin Parker
There’s a “drinkable form” that gives you the same dosages as injecting it. It costs $200 though.
Joshua Price
I’m taking 2000mg Vit C 30mg Zinc and 200mg Magnesium
Connor Rivera
Pseudoscience, stick to the proven stuff. If you really want to, make sure it’s liposomal or intravenous vitamin C.
Henry Murphy
I take max recommended amount during coronachan which is 2000mg a day. Some people do 3000mg/3g but it will just give you runny shits.
Ryan Wilson
Don't forget your vitamin d.
Jaxon Miller
Vitamin c and d are good
Landon Miller
having vitamin c present however stimulates your immune system to get a faster and more agressive response to the virus, thus producing the necessary antibodies to fight it in a timely fashion. It's like having a guard tower with a spotlight waiting for something to happen. You'll detect the threat faster, and by reacting faster allow less consequent damage
Colton Murphy
D is essential
Elijah Lewis
What about NAC? >helps recovery from normal colds/flu >known to thin out mucus
Camden Diaz
Megadose on pure vitamin C. Start with 3g a day spread out over three dosages (so 1g with water for morning, midday and evening). Every other day increase the dosage by 3g. Stop when you poo turns weird (runny or whatever). Keep going with that dosage until the virus passes.
Alexander Garcia
What the magnesium do?
Liam Johnson
Yes, C & D will help. Take them.
Adam Sanchez
linus pauling took 12,000 mg a day you fucking pussies. man up and start taking 1,000 mg every few hours. that is the only way you are going to survive this.
Logan Young
>"Necessary antibodies"
Did you even read what I just wrote? Without pre-existing memory cells, you body can't produce the right antibodies if it does not have the memory cells to produce the right antibodies. Only way to get the memory cells is to either get the virus and survive it, or a vaccine, so that your body learns the shape of the antigen on the virus and develops memory cells from it.
Ryan Hughes
It's for neural stability and muscle control. Without you get cramps and aches.
Hunter Moore
good for heart and blood system. they even give it to heart attack patients in hospitals.
What vitamin c does is enable the mobility of macrophages, which eat anything they don't know, thus reducing virus count by that merit, even without targeting antibodies present.
Brayden Stewart
If you had prepped like we told you, you would't be worried about whether or not eating Vitamin C will protect you in the TP line.
Mason James
If your skin is exposed to sun all day anyway, you won't need much of a supplement. Might just add one daily dose per week. Maybe pick a combination one with magnesium and calcium.
John Howard
I do 1 gram per day and whatever I get from my shitty diet. Also d3 100 microg a day, 10mg zinc and b-vitamin complex with like 2000% of daily values. Haven't been properly ill in years.
Benjamin Morris
Theres some private practises here in bong that do it in various doses. Search "vitamin C IV [your town]" in Google and see if anyone advertises it
Camden Powell
D3, normal recommended dose. Bioavailable is good
Camden Hughes
Macrophages are part of the second line of defense. No doubt they will phagocytosis the fuck out of some of the coronavirus but I'd still prefer to get a vaccine since antibodies are the last line of defense. If they fail we are fucked.
Connor Jenkins
Linus Pauling used 10g/day and I am using the same spread out a gram every hour or so. When sick I will increase the dose.Cathcart recomended even lareger doses while sick 50g/day in some cases but he was using cheep ascorbate. Get the liposomal for when you are sick its absorbtion is about as good as IV and try what the Chinese are using 50-200 mg/kg per day.
Virologist here. You need vitamin c to make antibodies. So, unless you are fighting a very sustained infection, you are OK. Tldr: start using vitamin c if you are sick, otherwise no need.
Nolan Baker
Listen here tard. Vitamin C is good but you have to take 20 grams for it to work. You need to do this intravenously otherwise you will shoot your stomach. Read the research.
If you take some vitamin C it will make the immune system fight the disease more which you don't want. What you want is an OK immune system that won't kill you until the virus passes. So stay inside and do what you usually do.
Isaiah Butler
i've been taking1.5 grams of pure vitamin C crystal everyday for a year now with no issues. I had a wisdom tooth removed and started getting a nasty abscess so i followed this megadosing protocol and within 5 hours it started clearing up. Definitely no snake oil.
>You need to do this intravenously IV is better yes but oral still has gets absorbed just at lower amounts. To say you need IV is not correct. Both Linus Pauling and Dr. Cathcart used oral ascorbate in large amounts just fine. Even Dr. Cheng in Shanghai is using oral ascorbate on the less severe cases and then IV on the more severe youtube.com/watch?v=kQEfig0qEW0
Jace Mitchell
Beer for the antioxidants
Logan Moore
It's only three, 1000mg pills. That's not too bad.
Alexander Mitchell
Right now, Vitamin C is in the "everything that helps you get/stay healthy will lessen the blow"-category. But maybe there's more to it. I haven't seen evidence for or against it.
I can already see the heroin junkies in the gutter replaced by vitamin c junkies selling their ass for another hyperdose of intravenous vitamin c. "Please! Please! Just one more shot or I'll get the coughs! Have pity, sir!"
John Lopez
There is no overdosing on vitamin c, and no amount taken has ever been proven to cause bodily harm. Only (((recently))) has there been concern over amounts
Gabriel Cook
>Need the slow fat absorbed C not the water absorbed C. Make sure the label says Liposomal Vitamin C and I’m taking 4 of these daily. If I get a coof, I’ll triple that dosage. Pic related
just drink a big glass of orange juice every morning, take vitamins, and laugh at all the sick people.
Gavin Scott
Yeah bro. Vitamin C doesn't exist in China or Italy.
Green Tea also cures the virus. In fact pretty much any oddly specific yet ubiquitous household compound in food will cure the deadly virus project to infect 60% of global population with a kill rate of 47% in Italy. Half of Italians don't consume Vitamin C, Green Tea, or whatever other shit you faggots are buying into.
Stop buying false hope. Self-isolate. Social distancing. Stay the fuck home.
Grayson Morgan

Vitamin C is a HORMONE that most vertebrate produce in their liver. Humans and other primates have a genetic defect that prevents us from producing our own. Our liver only produces three of the four enzymes necessary to convert glucose into vitamin C. This is why we call it a "vitamin" that is supposed to be acquired through diet.
The daily recommended dose is just the bare minimum needed to avoid most immediate nasty diseases but we can easily consume a few grams or so before noticing negative effects. You might get some diarrhea from 3-4 grams if you do it suddenly.
The production of vitamin C is strongly correlated with longevity. Animals which do not produce their own live 3-4 times the time they take to reach maturity (thus the 60-80 years of human lifespan), whereas animals which produce it live 8-10 times what it takes to reach maturity. In humans, assuming maturity is reached around the age of twenty, it would mean we could have a lifespan of 180-200 years if we did produce it. Experiments in rats and other mammals tend to confirm that. When the genes that allow the liver to produce it were suppressed or edited out the test animals suffered to a reduced lifespan along the lines of what I just exposed. Those who were supplemented with enough vitamin C lived almost as long as the non-modified animals. Thus it may be possible to greatly expand human lifespan if we take every day a proportionately bigger dose than these animals were supplemented with. Which would be up to 6-8 grams per day, preferably taken in different times of the day (with each meal?).

>we could have a lifespan of 180-200 years I just threw my C in the trash
Jackson Evans
it does help, but taking too much of it causes your body to flush all the vitamin c out of your body leaving you with nearly nothing.
Wyatt Lewis
I like breasts, how does this factor in?
Leo Robinson
Why? Are you distrustful of wild claims? Is your life so shit you are not interested in longevity?
Also, that is theoretical. IF we produced our own, and going with the average of animals that do. Supplementing will never be the same, since you haven't been doing it since a child and you're unlikely to take a high enough dose every day for the rest of your life.
Supplementing real hard would maybe mean you get to 110 or 120 years. Maybe. But you'll get there in better health than most.
James Bell
This is why one should make sure that you take “Fat Soluble” or Liposomal Vitamin C. It slowly is absorbed through the gut. If it’s water soluble, you’ll just piss most of it down the shitter
Owen Gutierrez
Why would I want to live that long? I’ve seen some shit
