Recent studies have proved that intake of Vitamin C can help you fight back flu. Along with Vitamin C, Vitamin D taken in the form of cod liver oil has also been the earliest known vitamin to help fight flu and its symptoms.
What is the Required Amount Of Vitamin C to Be Taken?
Studies show that individuals who take 1000 mg Vitamin C 3 times each day are 85 % less expected to have cold and are likely to lessen flu symptoms.
Vitamin C has been found to boost immune responses. Symptoms of cold are also reduced if the vitamin is taken in required doses.
Vitamin C and its Supplements
We might think that we take adequate amount of Vitamin C in the vegetable (e.g. tomatoes) or fruit (e.g. oranges, lime, lemon) form but in actuality we don’t. Vitamin C is the most important vitamin that helps proper functioning of the immune system.
Therefore, in case we don’t receive the proper level from our daily in taker of fruits then we may have supplements.
Vitamin C has anti-oxidant properties that annihilate the free radicals in our body which helps us increase our physical strength. The vitamin is able to stimulate anti- bodies that help in killing the influenza germs.
Vitamin D
As we know the only vitamin produced by the human body is Vitamin D. It is formed by the body in the presence of sunlight. However, during winters it becomes really difficult to get our skins exposed to sufficient sunlight. In such situations, taking the good old cod liver oil everyday is the best option.
In case, people can not withstand the smell of the oil they can have it in the form of capsules. Sun bathing for longer periods is another option.
