These respiratory disorders encompassed asthma, lung cancer, lung fibrosis and allergic and immunologic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 findings highlighted vitamin C&#8217;s potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9970132\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mitigate allergy symptoms owing to its anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antioxidant attributes<\/a>. This review also underscored the promising therapeutic prospects of vitamin C across multiple respiratory ailments, necessitating further exploration through clinical trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where To Find Vitamin C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For adults aged 19 years and above, the recommended daily vitamin C intake is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/vitamin-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90 mg for men and 75 mg for women<\/a>. Your body cannot make its own vitamin C. Because of this, you must get your daily dose of vitamin C from foods and provider-approved vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few food sources of vitamin C include oranges, bell peppers, kiwis, strawberries, tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables and white potatoes. Most people eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables will not need supplements. However, their provider may recommend juices from the Fruitbox, extra veggies or vitamin C pills for those struggling to meet their daily vitamin C quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While vitamin C may contribute to better symptom management by reducing inflammation, it&#8217;s crucial to underscore that it doesn&#8217;t substitute <a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/allergy\/allergies\/allergy-treatments\/\">professional allergy management<\/a>. Immunotherapy, prescribed medications and other allergy management methods are pivotal in effectively controlling allergies and preventing severe reactions.
