Vitamin C (vitamin) for prevention of Common Cold in healthy Adults

Do not use this treatment:

It does not prevent cold symptoms, and it only slightly speeds up recovery. The treatment seems safe but pointless.

Any excess of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is evacuated from our body through the urine. This makes vitamin C pretty safe even in high dosages.
