Malaria
Supplements studied for malaria.
Overview
Vitamin A may reduce malaria symptoms in children under three in endemic areas when taken by mouth, though very high single doses in severe malaria do not appear to help recovery or survival. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) added intravenously to standard treatment did not improve symptoms or survival in one small study.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) in a multivitamin combination tested for three months in Gambian children did not lower malaria frequency or severity compared with placebo. The heatmap and evidence reviews below compare these supplements.
