Does vitamin C give you energy? 

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. If you need a boost, taking a vitamin C supplement or eating a diet rich in vitamin C sources might help your energy levels, alertness and focus. 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.
