A good idea...: Vitamin C 500mg -1000mg taken by mouth daily as supplement for general wellness and immune system boost is a good idea especially if one doe not get to consume Vitamin C rich food like fresh oranges on a daily basis.

Hi Doc. What is the best way to build up my immune system for winter? I normally take Vitamin C tablets but this year I had a bad case of flu
Every winter I get sick with fever and flu like conditions. This season I took arinac once daily and vitamin c. But that saved me. How safe is it?
I take Ashlyna (generic of Seasonique). With Winter and cold/flu season approaching I wanted to check & see if there are any interactions between Ashlyna and Vitamin C. Will it lessen the effectiveness of the pill? I have read mixed reviews online?
