The common cold

In the process of fighting infection, immune cells rapidly use up vitamin C. Some studies show that in common infectious illnesses, such as colds, supplemental vitamin C lessens the severity and duration of symptoms.

In people with acute respiratory infections, like bronchitis or pneumonia, increasing oral dosages of vitamin C can reduce the severity of respiratory symptoms. The results can be dramatic. 

Some studies report rapid clearance on chest x-rays of patients with lung infections, following intravenous vitamin C treatment. In pneumonia and other serious infections, vitamin C has been shown to reduce symptoms, shorten hospital stay, and lead to more rapid normalization of markers of disease.

Applying vitamin C daily to the skin can do wonders for keeping one’s youthful appearance for life. A lightweight vitamin C serum that aids cellular reconstruction and renewal is perfect for all skin types and can rejuvenate and protect environmentally damaged or stressed skin. 

The benefits of vitamin C serum are complemented by a special blend of concentrated tea extracts that offer additional antioxidant protection for the skin against free radical damage.
