 | | Small trials suggest that the amount of vitamin C in a typical multivitamin taken at the start of a cold might ease symptoms, but there's no evidence that megadoses make a difference, or that they prevent colds. |
 | | Excellent food sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits or citrus juices, berries, green and red peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach. |
 | | Since standard multivitamins usually contain around 30 IU, a separate vitamin E supplement is needed to achieve this level. |
