Been pretty sick the last few days and have been slamming one or two of these everyday. Maybe its just one of those 'its comforting to have something you are able to do about this situation things' which I am fine with but it would also be nice if it had a real effect.
No idea, I take the elderberry stuff as a nature's antiviral for when I first start having symptoms of not sure what since the doctors here just tell me to 'deal with it' if I'm able to get to them in the first place. I use a much smaller dose of vitamin c and rosehip as a preventative, not sure if its any good or just a tart candy. I do know too much vitamin c gives you the shits.
I believe vitamin c is more of a preventative than a treatment. you won't recover any faster but if it gives you comfort while your are I'll then it's a small boost to your mental health.
