Coughs and colds are everywhere right now! So, we are re-releasing this episode of Nutrition Science Bites about supplement and the common cold. In this episode, Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss effectiveness of various nutrients and supplements in combating cold symptoms. They compare popular beliefs surrounding vitamin C, zinc, garlic, chicken soup, probiotics, echinacea, and andrographis with the research evidence related to whether they work, and potential risks. Their conversation also highlights the importance of eating healthily and seeking professional advice before using supplements for the common cold.
