I take animalpak for vit C

I dono what the dosage amount is in that, but you should be taking about 500mg every morning.

Sleep. I have not gotten a single cold or flu this year, although I can count on one hand the number of nights that I've gotten less than 6 hours sleep. I also take a multivitamin and two tablespoons of fish oil before bed.

Vitamin c at 5-6 grams a day. Try to get time released because it's a water soluble vitamin so anything you can't use immediately after you take it you'll just flush out. Another you can check out is ecinachia (sp?). I took 4 grams a day at the hint of a cold for a few days and it never caught on. Or you can check out "Wellness formula", not sure what company it is. Stronger than airbourne IMO. Full of c, echinacia, goldenseal, olive leaf, garlic, etc.

damn 4g of ecinachia (sp?), I think over 2g of vit C is a waste. I took 3g last nite and woke up and pissed alot of it out

Just got over a cold, When I felt it on I started pounding orange juice and thise stuff called emergen-c, its like 1g of Vit C per serving.

I take Animal Pak too and that usually keeps me in good health, usually only get one or two colds a year.

Zinc
Echinacea
Colloidal Silver Spray
Green Tea

I know this may sound crazy,.. but at the hint of getting sick, I get proactive and actually try to work out harder, more cardio, and sweat it out!!! I also increase my vitamin c!!!

[AnonyMoose]

extra zinc or zycam has worked for me

Don't take more than 1G at a time. That's about the max that your body can utilize at any 1 time. Spread the doses throughout the day.

if your immune system is strong you probably have nothing to worry about.

Dhea, Zinc lozenges, chopped raw garlic swallowed with water like pills, use 3 cloves initially then 1 clove dly till gone.
