Do you know the benefits of taking a Vitamin C supplement?
Not a whole lot but I do have a cold right now and I've been told that Vitamin C might shorten its length.
i see a lot of supplements that combine it with Zinc for colds. Have you ever tried that?
No I haven't, but if it will help my throat and sinuses... it will make the common cold a fair bit less annoying.
I've tried Zicam before, but I think that is just Zinc.  I've been reading that you need to either eat the Vitamin C via foods OR make sure you get a whole foods Vit C supplement.
Now may be I'm wrong about this being a cold and its actually the flu. Does Zicam or Vitamin C help with influenza virus?
I think they may possibly help with any virus, after all a cold is a virus as well, just not as debilitating.
Thats good. The sore throat, runny nose and high fever that I get are hard to diagnose as either Influenza or the common cold.
