Simple ways to reduce the risk of experiencing asthma or wheezing. Epidemiological studies have supported that intake of vitamin A, C and E may affect the symptoms of asthma.To further investigate the accuracy of that, 40 studies were reviewed to determine if vitamin A, C and E would play a role to asthma and wheezing (Allen S., et al., 2009). The researchers found and concluded that relatively low dietary intake of both vitamin A and C are associated with statistically significant increased odds of asthma and wheezing. Vitamin E intake did not show the same relationship. It was generally unrelated to asthma status, but was significantly lower in severe asthma than in mild asthma. A good multivitamin will usually help increase the intake of both vitamin A and C. If you want to take a higher dose of vitamin C, a buffered form of vitamin C is recommended since regular ascorbic acid is acid and may irritate your stomach if you have a sensitive stomach.
