Vitamin C intake and susceptibility to the common cold
- MedicineBritish Journal of Nutrition
- 1997
Six largest vitamin C supplementation studies are analysed, and it is shown that common cold incidence is not reduced in the vitamin C-supplemented groups compared with the placebo groups, although the effect seems quantitatively meaningful only in limited groups of people and is not very large.

Vitamin C supplementation and the common cold--was Linus Pauling right or wrong?
- BiologyInternational journal for vitamin and nutrition research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Vitamin- und Ernahrungsforschung. Journal international de vitaminologie et de nutrition

Linus Pauling's general conclusion that vitamin C has physiological effects on the common cold is of major importance as it conflicts with the prevailing consensus that the only physiological effect of vitamin C on human beings is to prevent scurvy.
