My mom is concerned that I started the year off by catching a cold. She's a bit superstitious so she thinks I'm going to be getting sick the whole entire year. *shrugs* Anyway, I want to reassure her that I'm going to be ok, by eating well, excercising regularly , and I want to take vitamins - thing is, I don't know which I should go for, any suggestions?

Vitamin C, around 80mg a day is the recommended dose to prevent and fight colds

For colds, Vitamin C & Zinc. There is also something called Emergen-C it's a vitamin C powder that fizzes in water.
For everyday, a good quality multivitamin - ask someone at a health food store to help you choose one. Omegas are also good.

Zinc is great for getting rid of colds quick if taken at the 1 st sign of one.
There are many excellent ones at the natural food stores, they are better than the ones from the pharmacy

What I do during the cold seasons is eat a couple of oranges a day, and I take centrium vitamins.

C and D
D helps the absorption of C into the blood flow

I think an overall multivitamin is better than just getting b or c. Melaleuca has a great one.
