This is a review of 82 studies conducted by the University of Pavia (Italy) that analyzed the preventive function of various nutrients on the common cold. The study concluded that, by maintaining the immune defense system in a normal healthy state, the incidence of infection of common colds is reduced and/or decreases the severity of symptoms and/or shortens the duration of the disease. Intake of some nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc, as well as echinacea, can significantly influence various aspects of immunity.
