Research indicates definite benefits from taking vitamin
C and zinc when trying to fight a cold. Studies do not
suggest a lessening of the number of colds acquired for
each individual. But results show a reduction in the severity
and duration of the cold. Vitamin C and zinc both are
known antioxidants helpful in boosting the immune system
into action. A study in the Annals of Internal
Medicine, July 1996, found that zinc can help reduce the
symptoms of a cold including coughs, headaches, hoarseness,
muscle aches, nasal drainage, nasal congestion,
scratchy throats, sore throats, sneezing and fevers.(Herbs for
Health, September/October 1997, 65)
