vit c and zinc pills

[Richard]

They do count as medication Jen. I can't see any harm in the Vi C tablets, unsure about Zinc, never had it / them.

There again, a good portion of steamed or not overdone vegetables would produce the same, followed by some fruit.

Smoothies even. Can be expensive though.

Just my thoughts.

I never saw that warning, it never occurred to me - I always took vit C and zinc every hour with a cold, plus paractamol and/or ibuprofen, I don't think it did me any harm. Mind you, I'm not sure it helped either!

Since I've been taking them I've had swine flu, sinusitis, a massive ear infection, & now I'm getting a cold...

Echinacea is good stuff for building up immunity and taking as soon as you get symptoms of a cold.

For a pick me up Jen, try Metatone Tonic, about the best they reckon.

I don’t hold much with taking supplements preferring to eat fruit and veg for my vitamins and minerals. Mushrooms are topped up with good for you stuff and we eat tons of them. Apples are in season as well for vitamin C. Leeks onions and garlic are fantastic foods full of health promoting things as are tomatoes.

hope that you're feeling better now.
