This is mixed into a sterile water bag (500cc). When dealing with covid-19, is it okay to add the sodium bicarb? And the magnesium? Or will it reduce the effectiveness?
In this case you even HAVE DO to add the correct amount of sodium bicarbonate, otherwise you will hurt yourself. The solution for IVs has to be pH neutral!
AngieLynn wrote:For oral vitamin C, I'm unable to take pure ascorbic acid because of ulcerative colitis. Will the oral sodium ascorbate work against covid-19? How about the oral ascorbic acid that's buffered with calcium? Would that be better than the sodium ascorbate?
Are you also saying that vitamin C should be used orally but when you're taking a vitamin C IV, bowel tolerance will drop once you do the IV?
Yes to the last question. Bowel-tolerance will increase during the IV, and drop sharply at the end. Calcium ascorbate is worse than Sodium ascorbate. Stick with the later. It will work, but not as good as with additional ascorbic acid orally. But with ulcerative colitis you have no choice anyway.
Not to be misunderstood this as medical advise, for which nobody is entitled to on the internet, just for the purpose of information. Do always work with your health-care provider.
