Do you think Vitamin C can beat flu? I can't take vaccin because I am allergic to it. But I've noticed more than one year that If I take vitamin C I would not get ill! Do you think Vitamin C can help with illness and flu? Let me know!

Yes, quite a few studies have shown that vitamin C boosts the immune system and makes the flu along with other maladies go away sooner. It is water soluble as well, so you can have as much as you want and not get ill effects (unlike vitamin A).

vitamins give more strenght to your immunitary system... so you're more protected... but if a flu virus is powerful, you can avoid it onl with vitamins

Vitamin C is amazing for the immune system but here is a tip for you. Kiwis contain more Vitamin C than oranges.

Vitamin C and vitamins in general can and do stop you from getting sick. Vitamin C is especailly effective in stopping you getting cold or flu viruses. Even if you do catch a cold it will be less severe than it would otherwise have been if you make sure you take vitamin C on a daily basis.

It does help but you need build your immune system first . don't think eating just a few pills without having your daily 3 meals will keep you healthy

Vitamin C and honey are the best to help get rid of the flu. I eat 1,000 mg of vitamin c when I get sick. But don't forget when your sick also drink tons and tons of water. that helps alot to get better.

Yes, Vitamin C is a really good immune booster. I try to take Vitamin C every day. Not only does it help your immune system on a day to day basis, it's a really good hangover cure! Another good thing is echinachia (I'm not sure how to spell that at all), it helps boost your immune system too -- it's good to take if you feel like you're getting sick. I also had a doctor tell me once that Zinc is really good for you if you're feeling like your immune system is a little down. Apparently it's one of the few things you can do for a viral infection, is make sure you get enough zinc.
