What are vitamin C capsules and how do they support immune health? - #16629
I’ve been hearing a lot about vitamin C capsules lately, especially during the flu season, and I’m wondering if they are as beneficial as people say. I know that vitamin C is an important antioxidant and that it plays a key role in boosting the immune system, but I’m curious about how much I need and if taking vitamin C capsules is the best way to get this nutrient. Since I’ve been dealing with frequent colds and low energy, I’m considering taking vitamin C capsules regularly. I’ve heard that vitamin C not only helps with immune function but also promotes healthy skin and helps in the repair of tissues. But I want to know if there are any natural sources of vitamin C that are better than supplements. Does Ayurveda recommend specific herbs or foods that are rich in vitamin C, like Amla (Indian gooseberry), which I know is a common Ayurvedic remedy for immune health? I’m also curious if there are any Ayurvedic dietary practices that can help boost immunity naturally without relying on capsules or supplements. If anyone has used vitamin C capsules or Ayurvedic remedies to strengthen their immune system, I’d love to hear what worked for you.
