Vitamin C is very goog for warding off bugs.And it certainly helps you get over them quickly.

Echenacea ( or how ever the heck its spelt ) is good for warding off colds . Also those probotic yoghuts ..Good luck I know what you mean I have been 2 weeks trying to get rid of a nastly cold flu type thing.

thanks girls, sorry i didn't post sooner but i had to visit family for new years.

will give both your suggestions a try, aldi do cheap vit c and zinc tablets iirc and i've heard a bit about echinacea but wasn't sure exactly what it was good for.

Vitamin C, prolaytics and Echinacea combined is very effective for boosting general immunity.

I am a long term bf - since 2003 and was getting run down. Have really been pushing eating alot of fruit and vege as well as beans (I don't eat alot of meat)
