Vitamin C Supplements are a very useful home remedy for Viral Infections
Hello Neighbours
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.
