Vitamin C: Myths and Real Benefits

Vitamin C isn’t the magic cold fix people swear by. It doesn’t really prevent colds,

and popping a bunch once you’re sick won’t make it disappear. The real benefit comes from keeping

your Vitamin C levels steady over time—it can help your immune system work better and maybe make a

cold end a bit faster. But huge doses won’t help and can actually mess with your stomach. You’re way better

off getting it from real foods like oranges, kiwi, and bell peppers—your

body absorbs it better, and you get all the other good nutrients too.
