Roll S, Nocon M, et al, Br J Nutr, 2010 Aug 23; 1-5; [Epub ahead of print].
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 529 healthcare professionals (nursing staff, 80% female, mean age: 40 years), supplementation with an encapsulated juice powder concentrate (4 capsules) for a period of 8 months was found to be associated with a 20% reduction in moderate or severe common cold symptom days. Subjects who received the supplementation had a mean 7.6 days of moderate or severe common cold symptoms, as compared to 9.5 days in the placebo group. The authors conclude, “Intake of a dietary supplement from fruits and vegetables was associated with a 20 % reduction of moderate or severe common cold symptom days in healthcare professionals particularly exposed to patient contact.”
