Best Supplement for Cold: Garden of Life Vitamin C - Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin C - 120 Vegan Capsules, 500mg Whole Food Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids, Fruits & Veggies, Probiotics, Gluten Free Vitamin C Supplements for Adults

Vitamin C is here to pump you up!

I'm not going to get into some religious debate about real vitamin C vs ascorbic acid (do your own research!) but I'll tell you what I have noticed... First of all, I'm a pessimist when it comes to supplements and whatnot. This stuff hasn't changed my life or turned water into wine, but I have blasted through a Cold that was going around in record time. My wife, her sister (a teacher - where it usually starts), and her sisters boyfriend all came down with the same thing, which means it was only a matter of time for me. This Cold dogged them for at least a week, almost two. It was one of those out of action for a couple days at the peak type colds. I've been taking this steadily for a couple months now... the worst of it for me was one day, and I just felt tired. A little tired the day before, and the day after - I knew it was coming, but wow. One day, not even down hard. No sore throat, no stuff runny nose... All I can say is: past experience is that I suffer the same as everyone else through these. Dayquil by day and Nyquil by night for about a week. Wiped out and just generally feeling horrible. This time, I felt that "I'm getting sick" feeling one day, the next I was just worn out but OK (no glaring symptoms really), and the day after I was bouncing back. Hopefully the next one passes just as quickly!

Love Gaden of Life – Bad Supplier

Love Gaden of Life - Bad Supplier 3 weeks late and delivered in the heat and humidity of South Florida summer - NOT packed in dry ice like GoL recommends. Will go to my local nutrition store and pay more...I trust them. To start, RAW Probiotics are grown in a state-of-the-art culturing facility. When the probiotics are fully grown, they are quickly put into frozen storage. They are then packed in dry ice and shipped overnight in refrigerated trucks to our manufacturing plant, where they are immediately transferred to our own freezers for storage until they are ready to be blended and encapsulated. The facility we use is exclusively dedicated to the production of our probiotics. That means that Garden of Life controls the environmental conditionsâ€"keeping it Cold and at the proper humidity. After blending and encapsulating, the RAW Probiotics are immediately moved back into Cold storage. When retailers order Raw Probiotics, the finished goods are picked and placed into special insulated containers, along with desiccants (moisture absorbing agents) and frozen packs so that they remain at optimal temperature and relative humidity all the way to our retail partners. Retailers are instructed to store the RAW Probiotics in refrigeration until the consumer purchases them and the instructions on the packaging inform the consumer the product is best when refrigerated. With Garden of Life's Arrive Alive system, you can feel sure that you are getting what the label promises

Yes!

I rave to friends about this product. Some says they are sick, I specifically recommend this. Lol. I've tried emergen C or whatever it's called, something called Doctors Best or something, solaray, and another brand. NOTHING has worked like this product. It's very gentle on my stomach which is important and I haven't had a Cold or flu in over a year now. I don't even take this on a daily. I do take either the vitamin code or liquid vitamins from the same company but this I take when someone around me is sick. I work with a lot of people and usually when 1 person gets sick, within that week, everyone would be sick. I take this when someone gets sick around me and keep taking it until they are better. LOL. This is my number 1 vitamin C. I know it costs a little more but it's worth it. Soooooo worth it

Was happy to find this but now sick as a dog. Effective?

I have mixed feelings about this and whether it is working. At first it seemed to improve my facial complexion and even out my skin tone. Cold and flu season just arrived and I'm sick as a dog. All these reviews talk about this product blasting thru sickness, well it doesn't. It has been a week and counting and I'm still in bed. I'm going to try another brand after this bottle and see which one I eventually stick with for whole food vitamin C and effectiveness. Be forewarned that you may have some gas initially due to the probiotic blend, but it subsided eventually when your system adjusts

Alls well

Quality seems good and a much healthier vibrant color than others I've taken. Kicked a Cold before it really got started which is rare for me so I feel they've given a proper boost to my immune system. My husband takes them as well and likes them
