Vitamin E for Colds?

 

Taking vitamin E supplements has been shown to protect

the elderly from getting colds that could quickly turn

into upper respiratory tract infections, which could

often prove to be deadly, particularly among seniors.

 

Researchers studied 617 residents of a nursing home,

all older than 65. The residents who took one vitamin

E supplement a day were shown to have far less colds

and a 20 percent lower risk of contracting a cold than

those who were given a placebo.

 

It was also discovered that over the course of the

one-year study, residents taking the vitamin were able

to avoid upper respiratory tract infections better

than those in the placebo group. The vitamin did not

show the ability to lower the incidents of lower

respiratory tract infections.

 

Experts also stressed the importance of a healthy

nutrition plan in relation to keeping a strong immune

system.
