Post-viral fatigue is associated with a variety of infectious diseases and is increasingly coming into focus in relation to so-called ‘long COVID’. While most people who contract the coronavirus can generally expect to make a full recovery, some experience symptoms lasting weeks or months after the initial infection has gone. Extreme tiredness is especially common in long COVID.
Significantly, therefore, a systematic review published in the journal Nutrients in 2021 examined the feasibility of using high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C in the treatment of post-viral fatigue and long COVID. Reviewing 9 clinical studies involving a total of 720 participants, the authors found that treatment with vitamin C resulted in a significant reduction in fatigue.
Other symptoms such as sleep disturbances, lack of concentration, depression, and pain were also frequently alleviated. Noting that vitamin C deficiency has been demonstrated in COVID-19 and other acute severe infections, the authors suggest that high-dose IV administration of this vital nutrient may be a suitable treatment option for patients afflicted with these conditions.
To read how a recent meta-analysis of 11 clinical trials confirmed that vitamin C has ‘significant mortality benefits’ in COVID-19, see this article on our website.
