Taking vitamin C and Thai herbal supplements to fight COVID-19.

More and more people are taking supplements to make their bodies more resistant to COVID-19. In March 2020, when the number of infected people started to increase, the Thai herb "GreenChiretta" was said to be effective against COVID-19, and many people bought capsules of the herb (Apaibate brand: 80 baht / about 269 yen for 60 tablets). The market price jumped to three times the usual level.
In April, the Ministry of Health issued an opinion that GreenChiretta is effective in suppressing the increase of COVID-19 virus, and that it should be taken if one feels cold-like symptoms.
In addition to this, the media and advertisements have been spreading the word about the importance of vitamin C in particular for boosting immunity, keeping the body strong and fighting COVID-19. Supplements that can easily provide the necessary nutrients are attracting renewed attention and demand is growing.
