I get sick all the time. Can taking vitamin C and D help me feel less sick? Can I take these vitamins together?

Hello Madam,

Unfortunately, there is a lack of data to say that these supplements can really help reduce the number of colds we get per year.

That said, I agree with Health Canada that all Quebecers should take 600 IU of vitamin D per day because we don't get enough sunlight during the fall, winter and spring months.

So I recommend taking vitamin D, considering that it is not expensive and usually does not cause any side effects.

Happy day,
