Acccording to the study of "Vitamin C and acute respiratory infections" by Hemilä H, Douglas RM., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers wrote that one randomised trial reported substantial treatment benefit from vitamin C in elderly UK patients hospitalized with pneumonia or bronchitis. It seems that the preventive effects of supplementation are mainly limited to subjects with low dietary vitamin C intake, but therapeutic effects may occur in wider population groups. Further carefully designed trials are needed to explore the effects of vitamin C.
