Mega Vitamin C doses and illness
hello
i saw on the internet that it was ok to take massive doses of vitamin c - 1 gram every 30 mins - when you have a cold, and do this until the symptoms go.
i notice that if i have a cold, or indeed any illness, vitamin C at really high doses helps me get better faster. the only side effect i have heard of is diahorrea. anyone else find it helps them? i even read on the internet it can cure some cancers by boosting the immune system. also i read that taking it everyday can prevent colds. is this true? or would the body get used to it and the effects wear off when i do get a cold?

yes high doses when you ill really does help, also small amounts everyday helps, but large doses everyday is not good

Not true. Research has shown that once you have an infection, no amount of Vitamin C will speed up recovery. What Vitamin C does do, when taken daily, is to provide better protection from infection and a faster recovery time. Once you're ill though, it's already too late.
