Vitamin C recommended

A Mosgiel GP recommends people affected by flu-like illness take liquid-form vitamin C.

Dr Elizabeth Harris said this year's flu season was marked by illness lasting longer than usual, from seven to 10 days, with high fevers.

She said taking lypospheric vitamin C appeared to "radically" reduce the length of the illness.

Dealing with flu-like illness was frustrating for doctors because, as it was viral, there was little they could do.

Dr Harris, contacted by the Otago Daily Times, said she had no financial interest in vitamin C products.
