Abstract
Since the early 20th century, it has been known that Vitamin C plays a role in human health and susceptibility to infections. Studies show that for specific population groups, the duration of the common cold can be reduced with increased Vitamin C intake. It has also been shown to reduce the length of stay in intensive care units and use of mechanical ventilation by 8% with administration of 1-3g of Vitamin C daily. This NED Infobite highlights some of the latest research into Vitamin C and the immune system, focusing in particular on infections, ICU stays and need for mechanical ventilation.
