While we are quarantined to our homes it is likely we are consuming more canned or processed meals than usual. It is important to supplement with vitamins to get nutrients that we aren’t getting from our food. Vitamin C 1000mg daily has shown in some studies to help decrease rate and duration of viral colds. It is always important to hydrate along with Vitamin C intake. Side effects from too much vitamin C are rare but some studies have shown nausea and vomiting from taking vitamin C at 2000mg daily on a continuous basis and possibly produce calcium oxalate renal stones in susceptible individuals.

Zinc, the immune system and safe dosage!
Zinc is a mineral that is very important to the immune system. It is believed that zinc helps the different types of white blood cells fight off infections better. Some studies have found that zinc helps lower the duration and the number of viral colds, which are part of the coronavirus family. It is believed that the upper limit of zinc for adults is at 40mg/day. It appears that zinc and vitamin C have a synergistic effect on the immune response. We want to keep our zinc intake to around 20 to 30mg daily dose maximum since at near 50mg/day dosage zinc has been known to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and a lowered immune response. *
