We examined the effects of vitamin C on pneumonia caused by the influenza virus, specifically the H1N1 strain, in mice under stress. The study found that when exposed to restraint stress, the mice experienced increased mortality and more severe pneumonia symptoms.
However, by giving them oral vitamin C at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg, we observed a significant reduction in these severe outcomes. Vitamin C seemed to modulate the expression of certain genes related to the immune response, such as MAVS and IRF3, and increased the expression of NF-κB, which plays a key role in the body's antiviral defense.
Our research suggested that vitamin C's protective effects might stem from its ability to inhibit excess cortisol production in the adrenal gland, which is often elevated due to stress. By lowering cortisol levels, vitamin C may help reduce susceptibility to influenza infections, making it a potential ally during the flu season, especially for those experiencing stress.
Through these findings, we highlighted a new mechanism for how vitamin C can be beneficial during influenza infections, particularly for those who are feeling overwhelmed.

Excellent vitamins! We have been taking them for several years during colds and flu! At the first signs of illness or contact with someone infected, we begin using this vitamin C, and all symptoms vanish by the second day! It’s a fantastic product! I always keep it in my first aid kit and share it with friends and family, all of whom are delighted! My daughter loves the raspberry flavour, while my son and husband prefer orange and tangerine. Everyone can find a flavour they like! I highly recommend it! My favourite product on Ayherb!

We investigated how an ascorbic acid-based solution could help treat recurrent cold sores, also known as mucocutaneous herpes. This study was carefully designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which helps ensure the results are reliable and trustworthy.
Participants used a strong solution of Ascoxal, rich in vitamin C, applied to their cold sores multiple times on the first day of the outbreak. We monitored various symptoms daily, including the severity of scabs, redness, and blisters, comparing the experiences of those using the vitamin C solution to a placebo group.
Our findings were promising: the active treatment resulted in fewer days with scabbing and less severe symptoms overall. Moreover, those using the vitamin C solution showed reduced persistence of scabs compared to the placebo group, along with a lower frequency of detected herpes virus after treatment.
In conclusion, this brief course of vitamin C treatment appears to have significant clinical benefits against cold sores, opening the door for future research on more extensive and frequent treatment regimes.

I love Emergency-C; I appreciate the ingredients and that it boosts immunity, especially with the flu season approaching. I don’t take it daily, but when I feel a cough or sore throat coming on, I take one and rest. I genuinely feel it helps my body combat whatever illness was looming. The Vitamin C content really aids in preventing illness! It’s high quality and good value.

We examined how a combination of megadose vitamin C infusions and other treatments might help manage chronic fatigue syndrome, particularly in the context of interstitial pneumonia. Our findings were based on nearly a decade of treating patients, allowing us to gather valuable insights.
We observed that the long-term use of this treatment system significantly reduced the risk of pneumonia recurrence. It also appeared to help prevent the emergence of certain cancers in older patients suffering from interstitial pneumonia. Surprisingly, we found a link between interstitial pneumonia and an increased risk of depression, likely driven by prolonged glucocorticoid use.
While some patients showed promise under this treatment, those battling both interstitial pneumonia and depression responded less favorably. We suggested that increasing the amount of dehydroepiandrosterone in the treatment could be beneficial. Throughout our experience, we noted that the characteristics of chronic fatigue syndrome align closely with those of interstitial pneumonia, arguing against the notion that they should be viewed as separate conditions.
Overall, our approach not only alleviated inflammation but did not suppress the fibrotic processes in the long run. We made modifications to the treatment to lower the risks of vascular complications. The main strength of our treatment lies in creating a hormonal environment that helps tackle immune deficiencies using vitamin C, which faces lower resistance in the body compared to steroid treatments.

Excellent vitamins! They taste nice and I use them for the whole family at the first sign of a cold. Taking them two or three times a day alleviates the cold, often without medication. They effectively combat chronic fatigue syndrome, providing a real energy boost! They're also vital when I need to focus, like during exams. I've relied on this for about 10 years. Highly recommend.

Effectiveness of Vitamin C on Colds
We explored the effects of vitamin C on the common cold and pneumonia by examining a range of studies. Interestingly, research on animals suggests that vitamin C may have protective effects against infections. However, when it comes to preventing colds in the general population, taking more than 1 gram of vitamin C per day didn’t show significant benefits.
But there's a twist! Participants engaged in heavy physical activities saw their cold incidence reduced by half with vitamin C supplementation. Additionally, regular intake of 1 gram or more daily was linked to a 15% decrease in cold severity. While some therapeutic trials showed inconsistent results when vitamin C was taken after cold symptoms appeared, two studies did indicate that larger doses (6-8 grams per day) could effectively shorten the duration of colds compared to lower doses.
Our investigation also looked into pneumonia, but the studies were conducted in unique settings, such as a boarding school and military recruits. This makes it hard to generalize the findings to the wider population. Yet, some trials suggested benefits for pneumonia patients. Finally, the role of vitamin C in treating COVID-19 and sepsis remains unclear, with mixed results.
Given that vitamin C seems to alleviate symptoms and shorten the duration of colds, while being safe and affordable, it might be worth considering a dose of 6-8 grams per day to see if it helps at an individual level.

These gummies are outstanding! At the first sign of a cough, sore throat, or body aches, I take this before bed and feel much better by morning. If I do get sick, taking this significantly lessens the effects, cutting my colds to just 2 days instead of a week. A must-have for bolstering your immune system!

We explored how vitamin C affects the severity of common colds through a comprehensive review of available studies. By including only randomized, placebo-controlled trials where participants received at least 1 gram of vitamin C daily, we aimed to investigate both the overall duration of colds and the intensity of symptoms experienced.
Our analysis found that vitamin C significantly reduced the severity of cold symptoms by about 15%. Interestingly, it appears that the benefits are more pronounced for those experiencing severe symptoms compared to mild ones. In specific comparisons, vitamin C didn’t substantially affect the duration of mild symptoms but had a notable impact on how long severe symptoms lasted.
This insight is crucial, as the common cold often leads to absenteeism at work and school, with more severe symptoms playing a key role in this setback. By highlighting vitamin C's greater effectiveness against intense cold symptoms, we suggest that future research should continue to look into how this vitamin can be utilized in managing cold severity.
