La pandemia por la enfermedad del coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) ha generado una crisis
sanitaria mundial y a pesar del tiempo transcurrido aún no existe fármaco que haya
demostrado prevenirla o curarla, sobre todo en los casos más graves. Algunos
investigadores han propuesto el uso de la vitamina C, por su efecto inmunoregulador y
antioxidante, como medida preventiva o tratamiento coadyuvante frente a la pandemia.
Es por ello, que se realizó la presente revisión de la literatura para determinar la
factibilidad de estos efectos y si existe evidencia científica que avale su uso como
preventivo o coadyuvante terapéutico contra la COVID-19.The pandemic by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has generated a global
