Vitamin C and Cold Myths Debunked | Health and Fitness News
Description
Forget the cold-fighting hype—vitamin C megadoses don’t actually prevent or cure colds, despite Linus Pauling’s famous push decades ago. While daily doses of 1,000–2,000 mg might slightly ease symptoms if taken regularly, they’re far beyond what your body needs (just 45 mg/day) and can cause stomach issues, kidney stones, and interfere with iron absorption or meds. Stick to food sources like oranges or broccoli—and always consult your doctor before supplementing.
