The trial involved a total of 140 patients with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms of COVID-19. Patients who received the C3 Complex showed quicker symptomatic recovery; had a lower incidence of red-flag signs; and had a better ability to maintain oxygen saturation >94% on room air only. D-dimer levels were less severe in the C3 group than in the non-C3 group. Some patients in the moderate non-C3 group required Tocilizumab injections; no patients in the moderate C3 group, however, required that intervention. Fewer in the C3 group needed mechanical ventilator support or suffered thromboembolic episodes than in the non-C3 group.
