New insights on vitamin C and colds according to experts

For a long time, vitamin C was considered a proven remedy to prevent or shorten colds. However, according to a recent publication on Futura, the picture is more nuanced. Experts emphasize that the effect of the vitamin depends on various factors.

The source states that vitamin C can be particularly useful for people who are under extreme physical conditions, such as top athletes or military personnel in cold climates. In the general population, the effect on colds seems less clear, although it may possibly alleviate symptoms.

Although vitamin C is still important for a good resistance, the experts state that it is not the solution for colds. According to Futura, the research emphasizes that a healthy lifestyle and sufficient rest remain at least as important.
