What's this?

Right, shouldn't everybody? Take a healthy amount of C, Zinc, etc?

Zinc & C are important, if you want a "normal" Immune system & response.

Which you'd want all the time (and not just because of Covid).

If your vitamins/minerals/body/system are operating at shirty levels to begin with, why is it any surprise that 1) you're more likely to catch a disease, and 2) once you catch the disease, you're more likely to experience a severe case.

I'm a bit skeptical, when it comes to this "Vitamin C is a miracle cure!" stuff --- in reality, I think the Vitamin C just brings a C-deficient person up to otherwise-normal levels.

As for the excess C, if you're taking 50,000% of daily dose? Much of that is pissed out (C is a water-soluble vitamin).

So why is 50,000% any better than 850%, when it's just going to the toilet?

(unless you sell Vitamin C, in which case 50,000% is much better for your bottom-line)
