Immune function Vitamin C is known to support cellular functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and a deficiency in the vitamin may increase the risk of infections. Vitamin C supplementation is commonly used to prevent and treat upper respiratory infections. (4) Research suggests that with ongoing supplementation of 1 g per day or more, the duration of the common cold may be shortened by 8% in adults and 18% in children, and the severity of symptoms may be signifi...cantly reduced. (7) Foods high in vitamin C Vitamin C is abundant in several fruit and vegetables, including: * Bell peppers * Broccoli * Brussels sprouts * Cantaloupe * Citrus fruits (e.g., orange, grapefruit) * Kiwifruit * Strawberries * Tomatoes and tomato juice (11) If you’re trying to get more of this vitamin in your diet, it’s important to note that heat may destroy vitamin C. In order to preserve vitamin C, consider consuming your produce raw, microwaved, or steamed, as opposed to broiled, grilled, or roasted. (11)
