Taking vitamin C to ward off a cold only helps if you exercise regularly, new research suggests. Finish researchers have found necking drinks in rich in vitamin C-Such as orange juice –makes no difference to couch potatoes. But in people who work out, vitamin C can halve the risk and even help get rid of the sniffles.
On average, adults have two or three colds a year, while children get sneezing and coughing attacks 10-12 times a year.
Studies in the past have shown that vitamin C supplementation reduces the duration of colds, but does not prevent it. Last week, research found that men who take vitamin C supplements every day doubled their risk of kidney stones.
