Vitamin C 用于 上呼吸道感染

B 证据 至少一项随机试验支持这一结论,结果基本一致。

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.
