With all the coughs and colds and chest infections around I thought I'd post this....bit OT, but hopefully helpful.
I had two rotten colds in rapid succession - just getting over one when the next came along - and felt really poorly this time last week.
When I was having a moan about it on Facebook our lovely heathera recommended Berocca. It's a mineral and vitamin supplement. It comes as a tablet which you fizz in water and drink. I got some of the Berocca Boost (thinking I needed a kick in the pants) which has another ingredient which is supposed to give you energy.
Well, although I still have a cough (which is disgustingly productive) I feel so much better. Quite lively and positive again and able to do long days at work without feeling too drained.
Now, I know that I would have got better in time anyway, but I do wonder if the Berocca is giving me a helping hand. It probably doesn't contain anything that can't be sourced from a good, balanced diet - but maybe at this time of year a bit of an extra boost isn't a bad thing.
It doesn't contain massive doses of anything like some broad spectrum supplements do, which is a good thing IMHO as it is possible to OD on vits and mins.
Thanks Heather!

I still like to use the Vicks First Defence if I feel the first signs of a cold coming on, it really does seem to stop a cold in it's tracks
