One of vitamin C’s many important roles in the body is converting food and drinks into energy and helping to absorb other vitamins and minerals.

Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, brussels sprouts and potatoes.
Will vitamin C help a cold?
Whilst taking a vitamin C supplement won’t prevent you from catching a cold or flu virus, it may play an important role in helping you to feel better. Taking a vitamin C supplement every day, or making sure you’re getting enough through your diet, may help to shorten the amount of time you’re sick. You should, however, aim to keep your vitamin C levels at an adequate level all the time, not just when you’ve got a cold.
