Remember the time you caught a cold, or when you felt like you’re going to catch one, and your family and friends suggested you take some vitamin C supplements?
Trials done on adults and children showed that participants taking more than 0.2g/day of vitamin C daily did not prevent a cold from occurring, but had reduced the duration and severity of the cold especially in children. Oddly enough, Vitamin C has effects on short-term exposure to physical stress, but not on long-term physical stress.
We’ll talk about how much vit C supplements can be taken in the next post!
還記得你感冒的時侯，或者是覺得自己要感冒的時候，你的家人會建議你服用維生素C補充劑嗎？
以成人和兒童為目標進行的實驗顯示，每天服用超過0.2克維生素C並不能預防感冒，但可以減少感冒的持續時間和嚴重程度，尤其是在兒童身上。
想知道一天可以服用多少維他命C補充劑，敬請關注下一篇！
