In 1970, Nobel Peace prize winner for chemistry, Dr. Linus Pauling released his book, “Vitamin C and the Common Cold”. He did a great service in educating us on the many utilities of vitamin C, including its anti-viral properties. As we know, the common cold is a Coronavirus, without a cure or vaccine. Dr. Pauling, and many scientists, doctors, practitioners… know the preventative and healing properties of vitamin C. Not just for infectious disease but for cardiac, eye, skin, brain…health.
Vitamin C is a Super-Antioxidant that boosts your immune system and is likely the most famous supplement, but many are unaware of the number of vitamin C family members that play an essential role in obtaining maximum vitamin C optimization.
