Does vitamin C actually prevent you from getting sick, or have we been sold one of the biggest myths in the supplement industry?
In this episode of FAKD, we uncover how two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling helped popularize high-dose vitamin C, why products like Emergen-C and Airborne became household names, and the truth behind a $30 million supplement advertising settlement.
We also break down the science behind vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, and other immunity boosters to find out what actually works, what's overhyped, and whether you can really boost your immune system.
Are we protecting our health, or just buying into clever marketing?
