"I've heard a lot of people say that taking vitamin C supplements helps prevent colds. Is that true?"
No, try this question again. The scientific evidence suggests that vitamin C supplements don't prevent colds.
Try this question again. There's scientific support for the theory that vitamin C supplements help to decrease the duration of a cold.
No, that's incorrect. Try this question again. Ten (10) grams of vitamin C per day is not the dose for decreasing the severity of colds.
Good. Studies show that vitamin C supplements of 1 g per day decrease the severity of a cold. Studies don't support the theory that vitamin C supplements prevent colds. Amanda has another question about the scientific research on vitamin C.
