As the temperature drops many of us begin to feel under the weather. To boost your chances of getting rid of those cold symptoms earlier it's a good idea to regularly be getting your dose of Vitamin C to reduce the severity and duration of a cold.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that assists in the formation of collagen and helps the body absorb iron to help keep the body strong and healthy.

The duration of a cold can be reduced in adults up to 8%, so they would suffer from a cold for 11 days rather than 12 days. Those who get the biggest benefit is children who have a regular and high intake of Vitamin C, the cold symptoms can reduce by 14% meaning the average child who suffers about 28 days of cold illness a year, would only have 24 days of cold symptoms because of their Vitamin C intake. Those 4 days can make all the difference when you are feeling unwell!

Vitamin C is added in all original Juicies flavours and naturally occurs in the fruits. Juicies are 100% natural, contain no added sugar and have a 5-star health rating. You can buy in supermarkets or in bulk by purchasing an Event Pack to boost your daily Vitamin C intake and to ease a sore throat.

Here is what some of our Facebook fans have to say:

"I am currently recovering from some kind of stomach bug. When it was at its worst and I didn't want to eat or drink anything Juicies were the only thing I could keep down. Nibbling and sucking away at a small hole in the corner got me through. It was so good I'm contemplating having a box in the freezer permanently for emergencies!" - Aaron Chang

"We have had the flu for 3 weeks and these have been a lifesaver! So good at alleviating those sore throats and has given me some respite from all my infernal coughing. Love the Lemonade (oh so much!) and Orange. Today I found a wee holder in a pack -- that beats the paper towels we've been using ... now to go find more cause I ain't sharing. " - Lisa Piggott-Ford

"Juicies are great when the kids have a sore throat. I had a few in the freezer and they were perfect to give her because she couldn't eat at the time. Love them." - Tania Wastney

We love being able to provide you with Juicies to help boost your winter wellness.
