Vitamin C helps to boost immune system function so that the duration and severity of a viral infection is shortened and the risk of developing a secondary bacterial infection is reduced.
In practical terms, using Vitamin C for infections works best if you take it at the onset of a viral illness, when you get the first niggles or symptoms, rather than waiting until you feeling significantly ill.
During an infection the dose of Vitamin C that is usually recommended is that of a ‘bowel tolerance’ approach. This may be 500 mg to 1000mg every hour or so until loose stools develop.
Keep a Vitamin C supplement at home so that if you feel like you are coming down with a viral infection you can start Vitamin C immediately.

Proposed 'granny flat' legislation could help address housing demand in North Canterbury, but officials want safeguards against flooding and liquefaction risks.
The Hurunui District Council has questioned whether small homes are practical in the windy region, while the Waimakariri District Council says the policy appears to be consistent with its proposed District Plan.
The Government is seeking feedback on a proposal to force councils to allow buildings of up to 60m2 in certain areas, without requiring a consent.
The proposal was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and Housing Minister Chris Bishop last week.
It will amend the Building Act and the resource consent system to make it easier to build granny flats or other small structures up to 60m2, provided they met the building code.
Hurunui District Council building and property manager Kerry Walsh said given the majority of the district is above the high wind zone, the maximum allowed in the proposal, ‘‘granny flats’’ may not even be permitted.
The Hurunui District includes the growing town of Amberley and tourist hotspot, Hanmer Springs.
If granny flats were allowed, he said it could "double the number of houses connected to the council’s systems".
The council needed to consider a number of questions when offering feedback including: will there be enough checks and balances, and will local infrastructure have sufficient capacity to support the proposal.
Waimakariri District Council planning, regulation and environment general manager Kelly LaValley said the proposal has the potential to address housing demand in the area, which includes Rangiora.
‘‘It aligns with our District Plan that allows granny flats to be established without a resource consent, provided conditions are met.
‘‘It is also good to see that the proposal considers impacts to stormwater, servicing, and infrastructure funding.’’
But there needed to be safeguards included to mitigate the risks from liquefaction and flooding.
There will need to be a clearly defined method of determining if the granny flats comply with the Building Code.
The Kaikōura District Council has also been contacted for comment.
Consultation is open until August 12, with final policy decisions to be made later in 2024. They are expected to be in place by mid-2025.

My Microdermabrasion crystals are my go to once a week.
Its benefits include: softens fine lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, also known as age spots. Microdermabrasion also makes it easier for high quality skin care products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.
The surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and skin will feel visibly fresher. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, pores are unclogged, acne is diminished, collagen is stimulated and a more uniform tone is evident. Essentially it is a controlled way to shed skin of impurities and dead layers of skin. It can be used to successfully treat concerns such as dull, weathered skin, uneven or blotchy pigmentation, freckles, black heads, sun damage and fine lines.
Add the Microdermabrasion crystals to your own lotions, creams/cleansers etc and you will create your own microdermabrasion treatment. Use your hands to rub the cream into your face, pushing the crystals against your skin so that they grab and remove the dead cells of the stratum corneum (top layer of skin). Rinse then moisturise. Please remember to use on backs of hands, arms, chest, legs etc just work it all over your body for a silky smooth sensation!
