Sick as a dog

What are you bringing to the discussion apart from jibberish babble?

I don't agree with scrums statement; I've experimented with high doses of vit c and have had noticeable results at ridding illness such as colds.

Well I'm glad ylu agree at least :thumup:

[Scrumhalf]

There are plenty of well designed double blinded placebo-controlled experiments that show that mega doses of vitamin C do nothing for curing colds. Most of the "positive" results people observe are merely confirmation bias - you were probably on the mend anyway and the vitamin C had no contribution to the eventual outcome of you getting rid of your cold.

I'll try to find the references later today.

There's no cure for a cold, I'm just saying there are ways the bolster your immune system so that it can fight virus/bacteria effectively, thats all.

Well if vitamin C had this purported effect of bolstering your immune system, you should see some tangible benefit, like your body gets rid of your colds sooner, or something.

However, the fact of the matter is that in well controlled experiments, there is NO evidence that vitamin C does anything of the sort. It neither reduces the severity of the symptoms, not reduces the duration of the affliction.

[Mr I]

You can always find studies, there are studies that show drinking more than a litre or yep a day brings no tangible benefits. Depends on the measures I guess. I recover quicker when I load vit c no doubt about it, plenty studies support it but anyway it works for me and many I know that didn't used to do it.

Mega doses of Vit C end up in your urine.

true and some amino acids are excreted too, so do you just not eat more than the 90 gram or so RDA then? FFS

Haha. Never seen someone get their panties in a wad about it.

[Turbo3000]

RDA is stupid anyway. Fuck the FDA, non-bias my ass.

[Mr I]

Exactly so whats your point? I don't get it
