In my house I only have apple juice, I would like to know if i should buy some Orange Juice, if it will help relieve the symptoms better. Also, if orange juice is better for you what kind, ie; concentrated, Pulp, or no pulp.
Thanks for your help

Arguably, the orange juice would be slightly better for you just because of the additional vitamin C content. Some studies have pointed to vitamin C as being an immune booster, but other studies have shown no such link.
Probably more important than what type of juice you drink, is that you drink a lot of liquids, period, to help thin your mucus.
Hope this helps. Feel better!

Unfortunately, a cold, being a viral infection has no cure. Experts agree that flushing the body with clear fluids or fruit juices is beneficial to help remove wastes produced by the illness.
Orange juice has a higher concentration of vitamin C which has been suspected (but never proven) to lessen the severity of a cold and or prevent one.
As with most products, "Fresh" is considered best over concentrate and the pulp will help replenish needed fiber for the intestinal tract.
Hope you feel better.....

They can't really chase away the cold, but orange juice is probably best for a cold. Apple juice helps your throat. I don't think that it matters if it's pulp or not. Hope I helped!

Orange Juice is packed with Vitamin C, so it is good for fighting colds. Apple Juice makes you poo, so it could help clear a cold out of your system faster. I would mix them together. I know it sounds gross, but I tried it the other day (like seriously I did) and it actually taste pretty damn good.

I would say orange juice, pulp or no pulp is fine. It doesn't really make a difference. Get better.

Orange Juice mixed with Echinacea is better for a cold.

Orange must not be taken while cold, better go for apple juice that can be taken in any seasons...
