We explored the impact of high doses of Vitamin C on cold and flu symptoms in a controlled study involving 752 students. While 463 participants made up the control group and received standard treatments, the 252 in the test group took 1000 mg of Vitamin C at set intervals.
After comparing reports from both groups, we observed that those who took Vitamin C experienced less severe and fewer symptoms compared to those who did not. This suggests that Vitamin C could be a helpful supplement in managing flu symptoms.

Vitamin C improves inflammatory response
Effect of systemic high dose vitamin C therapy on forearm blood flow reactivity during endotoxemia in healthy human subjects.
We explored the effects of high-dose vitamin C on blood flow during inflammation caused by endotoxin. In a balanced, placebo-controlled crossover study with 36 male subjects, we examined how vitamin C administration impacted vascular function. After administering lipopolysaccharide (LPS), participants experienced flu-like symptoms and a significant drop in blood flow response.
However, we found that high-dose vitamin C improved this blood flow response, suggesting it can help counteract issues related to inflammation. This paves the way for further research on vitamin C's benefits in similar conditions.

Supplement has merit but arrived gooey. I ordered it during December when it was cooler everywhere. The bottles looked like they had been damaged and melted. I initially bought this supplement locally, and it was fine. Elderberry with Emergen-C is an excellent aid during flu season or when one feels unwell. It was most likely an isolated incident due to the busy holiday delivery period.
