Does Vitamin C really help get rid of or prevent the common cold?


I have a cold. :(
I was wondering if by drinking orange juice or other juices with high Vitamin C content would this help get rid of my cold?

  1. No, although some of the zinc nasal swabs seem to show promise.

  2. Vitamin C can help to boost your immune system. When your immune system is strong it can more efficiently fight off illness. So it may help you get rid of your cold quicker.

  3. YES! Vit C has been shown to shorten the duration and lessen the severity of a cold. But it won’t prevent one. Try taking a Vit C supplement with Echinacea in it.
