I have had a huge number of colds over the last 6-8 months, and this time is my anecdotal test of Vitamin C. However I find it odd that there is a suggested limit of 1g per day -- for a 100 pound sedentary old lady? - or a 200 pound man engaged in copious amounts of exercise... I suspect more is appropriate for the latter. Haven't noticed the overhwhelming desire for rap music (yet.... ;-) Interesting, I have just started supplementing with plenty of vitamin C - after being a tad suspicious about most things at the health shop.

When it comes to medicines, my wife almost always has to reduce the dose the doctor prescribes. She is on the small side, but it I also think it has to do with metabolism. And as you suggest, size would certainly apply to vitamin doses as well. That's nice to hear about the lack of rap music symtoms! Please let me know how well vitamin C works for you.

Whilst I still experienced most symptoms of a cold - they never really got the better of me - although at times I was very fatigued. The only difference from previous colds was I was taking about 1-2 grams of Vit C when I felt the cold coming on. However I've no doubt that I've got some kind of compromised immune system. Every time I increase my exercise - after about 1-3 weeks I will get sick... The experiment is over.

I'm glad to hear the vitamin C helped. Your comment about excercise reminds me that ecercise and immunity is another blog I need to work on soon. Thanks again. Jim,

There are some excellent clinical studies that seem to point to immune system support with this product.
