Vitamin C Supplements are a very useful home remedy for Viral Infections
Hello Neighbours
Vitamin C helps to boost immune system function so that the duration and severity of a viral infection is shortened and the risk of developing a secondary bacterial infection is reduced.
In practical terms, using Vitamin C for infections works best if you take it at the onset of a viral illness, when you get the first niggles or symptoms, rather than waiting until you feeling significantly ill.
During an infection the dose of Vitamin C that is usually recommended is that of a ‘bowel tolerance’ approach. This may be 500 mg to 1000mg every hour or so until loose stools develop.
Keep a Vitamin C supplement at home so that if you feel like you are coming down with a viral infection you can start Vitamin C immediately.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
