Vitamin C and Reduced Common Cold Duration

Doses used in studies
  • g/day: 6–8 (median 7, IQR 6–8) — 1 study
Safety in these studies
  • Overall tolerabilityReported

    Given the evidence that vitamin C reduces the severity and duration of the common cold, paired with its good safety profile and low cost, it is not unreasonable for patients to test whether therapeutic vitamin C supplementation at a dose of 6-8 g/day is beneficial at the individual level.
