1 Coronavirus Disease 2019- Using Ascorbic Acid and Zinc Supplementation (COVIDAtoZ) Research Study A Randomized, Open Label Single Center Study

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and zinc gluconate in reducing duration of symptoms in patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients above the age of 18 who present to the Cleveland Clinic outpatient testing and receive a positive test for COVID-19 will be invited to participate.

Primary Outcomes

Description: Outpatients who test positive for the Coronavirus 2019; number of days required in which they reach a 50 percent reduction in the cumulative 0-12 score symptom category of fever based on a 0-3 scale: 0 = ≤98.6, 1 = >98.6- 100.6, 2 = > 100.6 - 102.6, 3 = >102; Cough on a 0-3 scale: 0 = no cough, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe; Shortness of Breath on a 0-3: 0 = no shortness of breath, 1 = with moderate intensity exercise 2 = with walking on flat surface 3 = short of breath with getting dressed or daily activities; and Fatigue on a 0-3 scale: 0 = No fatigue/energetic, 1=mild fatigue, 2=moderate fatigue, 3=severe fatigue.
