Do vitamin c supplementation play any role in down regulating this virus?

[Jatashankar]

It is a proven fact that vit c boosts immunity act prophylactically against common cold and other diseases but do they play role against hbv. Many articles and self experimental people have shared there experiences on internet about the megadoses. Is it worth or vane?

@jatashankar thanks for the input

[stef2011]

vitamin c helps only upregulating an existing immune response, on chronic hbv, like all chronic conditions, there is no immune response so vit c is useless because there is nothing to amplify

[Jatashankar]

But prophilactically I think taking 500mg minimum per day is healthy

I used  Bio care vitamin C ascorbated with magnesium.


What I noticed i defo feel good with it. Did it contribute to my hbsag loss? I dont know but my gastro agreed it would do no harm

@needadvice what dose and brand of vitamin C do you take?
I started taking Indian goose berry (Amla) the Joyce 20ml per day. Amla is very high in vitamin C, and don't know if it will help

[Jatashankar]

Be cautious on regular consumption of Amla coz renal stones have been reported due to it. Despite its a good fruit.

[needadvicewithhep]

I use vitamin C and found it helpful.
