Vitamin C для Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

B Доказательства По меньшей мере одно рандомизированное исследование подтверждает это, с в целом согласованными результатами.

Research suggests regular vitamin C supplementation may reduce cold duration by approximately 8% in adults and 14% in children. Supplementation at 1g+/day is associated with reduced severity of cold symptoms. Notably, vitamin C started after symptom onset does not appear to be effective.
