Vitamin C plays a crucial role in supporting immune function by enhancing the production of white blood cells, reducing inflammation, and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Alongside other vital nutrients, it fortifies your body's defenses to fight viral infections effectively.
Vitamin C is essential in improving the function of your internal virus assassins—your Cytotoxic T cells and your Natural Killer Cells.
These white blood cells kill cancer cells and cells infected by viruses.
Countless people feel the need to take vitamin C before flying because of the belief that it boosts their immune system and protects against illness, particularly colds or respiratory infections.
And . . vitamin C DOES support the immune system to fight infections.
However, if you don't take vitamin C consistently as part of your daily routine and suddenly load up on it when you're crammed into a giant, enclosed flying tube or surrounded by a crowd of people, it can actually have a suppressive effect on your immune system.
Your body thrives on steady, reliable nutrient support, not abrupt doses during high-stress situations.
Remember, take vitamin C (up to 3000mg's/day) to support your immune response against viral infections.
Keep rebuilding!
