Effectiveness of Vitamin C on Colds
Vitamin C for the common cold and pneumonia.
Strong relevance to cold prevention
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.

Vitamin C improves cold tolerance
Application of Exogenous Ascorbic Acid Enhances Cold Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings through Molecular and Physiological Responses.
Directly addresses cold tolerance
We explored the effects of ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, on cold tolerance in tomato seedlings. In our study, we discovered that applying vitamin C significantly boosts the seedlings' ability to handle cold stress.
By enhancing the antioxidant defense system, vitamin C treatment increased the enzyme activity in the seedlings' leaves. Additionally, it raised levels of important compounds such as proline, sugar, and abscisic acid, all of which play crucial roles in plant stress responses.
Our observations showed that vitamin C also protects the photosynthesis system of tomato seedlings. This implies that it helps maintain chlorophyll function, which is critical for the plant's overall health, especially under cold conditions.
Moreover, we found that vitamin C treatments led to increased expression of genes linked to antioxidant enzymes and cold response mechanisms. Overall, our findings suggest that exogenous vitamin C is a beneficial approach to improve cold tolerance in tomatoes and may provide helpful insights for farmers looking to cultivate hardier varieties during colder months.

Quick cold recovery
Vitamin C is here to invigorate! I'm not venturing into any debate on real vitamin C versus ascorbic acid (do your own research!) but here’s my observation... First off, I'm sceptical about supplements. This hasn't transformed my life, but I managed to recover from a cold that was circulating in record time. My wife, her sister (a teacher, where these things often begin), and her sister’s boyfriend all caught it first; they were bedridden for nearly two weeks. I only felt a bit tired for one day. Unlike previous experiences with colds where I needed Dayquil and Nyquil for about a week, this time, I had just a hint of tiredness. I felt the onset, but it barely stopped me. I do hope the next cold passes just as swiftly!

Effective cold prevention
Yes! I rave about this product to friends. When they feel unwell, I recommend it specifically. I’ve tried other brands, but nothing has worked like this. It’s gentle on my stomach, which is key. I haven’t had a cold or flu in over a year now, and I only take it when someone near me is sick. With my job around many people, I take this when illness arises and continue until they're better. It’s my number one vitamin C—worth every penny!

Boosted immunity
All is well. The quality is good, and the vibrant colour is healthier than others I’ve had. It kicked a cold before it could start, which is unusual for me, so I feel it’s strengthened my immune system.

Faster cold recovery
It's okay. I don't see a significant difference when taken regularly, but it's effective during a cold for a faster recovery.
