Re: Improving Immune System
were you prone to colds before then?
I never seemed to get these minor sicknesses despite having a lifestyle of Chris Farley in college. It's probably largely genetic. |

Re: Improving Immune System
High intensity weight training wreaks havoc on your immune system. Before working out, Mix 100 G of a carb product like ultra fuel and 25 gram of whey protein. You can add creatine to it also, but this only aids in building muscle. Drink half of it preworkout and the rest immediately after working out, along with Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Re: Improving Immune System
You need to look at population studies, not individual case reports for what works and doesn't work.
The problem is that any one little "treatment" often in the scientific studies has very little benefit. Antioxidants are great, but there is no single "magic bullet". The best things are going to be obvious: Get enough sleep Rest if tired Periodization of training. Also disease prevention, always wash hands when touching fomites. Stay away from sick people. |

[/ QUOTE ] Go on ... So far everything i've read about Vitamin C has been postive, from reducing colds (which is debatable) even to disposal of heavy metals, and the only side effect would be if i started taking 3g+ is diarrhea and since these cost so little i can't see any reason not to take them. I'd stop if you post some good reasons though. |

Re: Improving Immune System
Vitamin C is great and all, but overdosing on it shows little to no positive effects on fighting colds and/or diseases. You get enough by taking a multivitamin and even a decent diet.
