submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
High dose, but not low dose, zinc lozenges shorten the duration of cold symptoms.

How Much Vitamin C Do You Need?
submitted by: admin on 09/24/2013
The RDA for vitamin C is enough to prevent scurvy, but not enough to prevent heart attacks, strokes, cancer and many infectious diseases. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, we should raise the RDA from 70 mg in women and 90 mg in men to 200 mg per day.
