Coronavirus: China Retailers And Suppliers Report Surge In Demand For Vitamin C Supplements

NEWS

Chinese e-commerce giant JD has reported that sales of vitamin C dietary supplements on its platform were up five-fold, after the announcement of the novel coronavirus.

COMMENT

It is no surprise that Chinese retailers and suppliers are reporting a surge in demand for vitamin C supplements. A few weeks ago, a medical team from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University in China reported the successful treatment of coronavirus patients with vitamin C.

In a press release posted on the hospital website, the team describes how patients suffering from severe coronary pneumonia, a potentially fatal complication of the new coronavirus COVID-19, have recovered after being treated with high doses of the vitamin. The medical team recommend that for critically ill patients and those with severe neonatal pneumonia, vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission to hospital.

Significantly, the press release acknowledges that early application of vitamin C can have a strong antioxidant effect, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve endothelial function. It also describes how numerous studies have shown the dose of vitamin C used has a lot to do with the treatment’s effect. The medical team say their past experience shows that high-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more importantly can prevent and treat acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress.
