Cold & Flu Prevention: Vitamin C

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.

Vitamin C helps with immune system function and boosts white blood cells. Research shows that Vitamin C has shortened the duration of colds and can decrease the number of colds in physically active people.  Take 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily to ward off a cold or the flu and up to 4,000 milligrams daily when you are experiencing symptoms. For the most dietary vitamin C, eat whole fruits and vegetables.  Our top picks are bell peppers, kiwi, strawberries, oranges and broccoli We like Vitamin C in capsules rather than tablets and the one we like from Solgar can be found on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2qzble1
