Taking supplements
As Coronavirus scare has started again, people around me are taking vitamin C supplements to boost their immunity without consulting any doctor. Is that okay if one does a Vitamin C supplement course for one month every year? Is 500mg Vitamin C tablet okay for that purpose?

You can take, although it’s not mandatory. Rather rely more on natural sources of vitamins & minerals in fresh fruits and vegetables. You can consult for detailed discussion
