Re: Emergen C
Yes but Elderberry syrup works better
And zinc lozenges.
But don't take the zinc on an empty stomach!

Thank you, I just drank the emergen c on an empty stomach bc I have no appetite. I'll go force myself to eat something. I'm going to get that syrup I remember people raving about it

Re: Emergen C
My go-to is the immune boosting vitamin IP-6.
You have to go to a vitamin store to get it but take 1,000 mgs of that each day with a lot of water and wow - it works wonders.

Re: Emergen C
A lot of people swear by Zicam at the onset of a cold. It does have a lot of zinc in it, so it might make you a little queasy, but it does help a lot.

Yes to both of these. Emergency-c gives me the runs every single time. I stopped taking it years ago.

Re: Emergen C
None of that stuff works for me. It's mostly the placebo effect if it does work.
What works for me is rest. A lot of it. I got rid of a cold once in two days by simply not moving and resting.

I think the same for me, I felt it coming yesterday morning ran out and got emergen C and I'm sitting here wide awake with the worst sore throat ever and can't sleep bc my nose is so stuffed :( maybe I didn't catch it in time

It's brilliant marketing, though  .
I had four colds last winter. I tried everything. I was in a new city, took more public transport than I had ever taken in my life, and was stressed from all the changes. There was nothing I could have done.
Feel better and be glad it's this week and not next week.

You have to take it at the onset of a cold, and keep taking it. When I get a cold, I'm down for the count...goes to my ears, etc. If I don't start taking something as soon as I feel like I'm' getting something, forget it, doesn't work. Definitely not a placebo for me.

Also, massive doses of Vit C can cause kidney stones and I am prone to them so I have to be careful with things like Emergen-C
