Vitamin C galour

It is a common belief that Vitamin C is our greatest armor against colds. There are more interesting notes about Vitamin C like:

• needs increase among smokers by 40 to 45 mg (from 70-75 to 110-125 mg) because smokers are more likely to experience higher levels of oxidative stress and cellular damage
• supplements may decrease duration and symptoms of colds
• deficiency may develop within 3 weeks of very low intake

hmmm..

So, it is quite true that Vitamin C is our greatest armor against colds. So, we must take in enough for us. And to smokers, take much more Vitamin C.
