A member asked:

How long is it safe to take high doses of vitamin c for glandular fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No proven benefit.: There is no reason to take high doses of vitamin c for this infection. The risk of taking vitaminc is low, but if there is no benefit then the risk is not justified. Best idea is to just stop....Unless of course it makes you feel better.
