Vitamin C’s reputation as a cold preventative and treatment now has clinical evidence to support it. In laboratory conditions, Vitamin C inactivates a variety of viruses and bacteria. Studies show that optimum levels of Vitamin C stimulates important components of the immune system, making it effective in lessening the duration and intensity of the symptoms of upper respiratory infections and the common cold. Vitamin C also has a mild antihistamine effect in the body.Unlike most mammals on this planet, humans lack the ability to produce Vitamin C in our bodies; nor can humans store Vitamin C for long periods of time. Humans must replace Vitamin C routinely due to its water solubility.* |
