Elderly people may reduce their risk of catching a cold or developing an upper respiratory infection (URI) by taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement combined with 200 IU of vitamin E each day.
A study of more than 400 nursing home patients showed that subjects who took a multivitamin along with vitamin E were nearly 20 per cent less likely to develop a cold or a URI compared to subjects who took only a multivitamin.
