Is Vitamin C Such As Emergen-c Good For Immune System?

I would just like to know if Vitamin C vitamins such as Emergen-C are still good for you and your immune system if you are already sick (such as with the Cold). I was informed that Vitamin C is actually BAD for you once you are sick, and was told that they got this information from doctors. Is it?

Hi,
Vitamin C is good in any kind of condition either normal or abnormal, so dont get carried away by this kind of rubbish information.
Actually vitamin C accelerates healing process when you are sick, so you can eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C.
Hope this will clear your confusion and you can ask any of your queries directly to me anytime.
I find this answer helpful
