There are vitamins and supplements that can get into your blood stream within seconds, thus boosting your immune system to fight colds and flu. Such supplements are called sublingual or “beneath the tongue,” meaning they dissolve in the mouth cavity.
Did you know that by swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach? When you incorporate Superior Source MicroLingual Vitamins into your daily life, you will quickly learn the difference between the vitamins that melt in your mouth and those that melt in your stomach.
Here’s a post with more details on the Vitamins for Family During Flu Season.
As a woman, you may be interested in learning of the Age Appropriate Supplements.
Best Sublingual Vitamins for Fighting A Cold
One of the best ingredients that has been used for centuries is ECHINACEA. There was time when the stores were booming with echinacea supplements. Now, many companies choose to include it into their supplement formulations.
Another ingredient that is frequently included into the the supplements for fighting colds and flu is ZINC. It has been included into lozenges of different types to help the immune system to fight off viruses and bacteria.
Taking lozenges with zinc helps to reduce the duration of the cold or flu. And the studies like THIS ONE explores it thoroughly. Another expert and scientific advice and STUDY advise to implement zinc within the first 24 hours of cold onset. Obviously, it is hard to determine when this threshold is in a real world. That is why it is recommended to the medical community to incorporate zinc supplementation as an overall advice about colds.
Based on the studies, including echinacea and zinc supplements can reduce the duration of the colds and provide a smooth relief to the inflamed affected tissues.
Superior Source has added echinacea and zinc to their lozenges they call “lozenjets.”
Can Vitamin C Prevent A Cold?
A fact is that VITAMIN C, ascorbic acid, helps the immune system to fight colds and flu symptoms. To be more precise, vitamin C is one of the key ingredients necessary for leukocytes to work well. “Leukocytes” are our white blood cells that fight infections and pathogens entering our body.
However, do keep in mind one interesting fact that has been proven by many clinical studies. Once you have cold or flu, taking vitamin C won’t help. And when people take vitamin C for cold prevention it won’t protect them from getting colds or flu. (Take a look at one of the clinical studies discussing different scenarios of vitamin C in fighting flu and colds HERE).
But vitamin C, being a potent antioxidant and a vital ingredient for many bodily functions, is always recommended prior the flu and colds season. It boosts our immune system which is why we take it.
As Harvard Review says HERE to rip the benefits of vitamin C, you’ll need to consume it on the daily basis and not just at the start of cold symptoms.
Also, check out some incredible Kid’s Clean Melts with Vitamin C.
Does Vitamin B12 Help with Colds?
Without doubt, all vitamins are important to our body and its immune system. Vitamin B12 is no exception.
We all know that this vitamin is super important when we need more energy. It boosts our mood and how we feel during the day. But did you know that vitamin B12 is considered a super important one to keep our immune system responsive to any adverse conditions?
And if you want your skin to be smooth and plump, consider Vitamin B12 aka Cobalamin for your supplementation. But please ask your medical provider about any new supplements you plan to take!
That is why doctors recommend to take vitamin B12 along with supplements to prevent colds and flu.

Low Vitamin D Levels Linked to Colds
Women’s self-care has become one of the top priorities in our society. Being care-takers, child-bearers, business entrepreneurs, women gotta have strong immune system.
In fact, VITAMIN D has been labeled as one of the “pivotal” vitamins for women’s health. There are studies that showed a critical role of vitamin D for common colds. Check one of them HERE.
Vitamin D shares its preventative role with vitamin C and has been proven by many studies to “reduce the duration of the flu and other chronic viral infections.”
Based on studies, vitamin D deficiency can significantly reduce the ability of the immune system to effectively fight infections, colds included. Read more in this study HERE. These studies are fascinating to me, as they disclose information that we do not get from other sources.
That is why Superior Source microlingual vitamin C supplement is one of the best best vitamins for fighting a cold, as it gets into your blood stream in no time. The tabs meld under your tongue within seconds.

Hello. Thank you very much for talking about this. This is actually very useful information these days. I didn’t even know before that vitamins or supplements in the stomach lose 50% of nutrients. Although it is not surprising what an aggressive environment is in the stomach. Now I will take vitamins and supplements that are under the tongue. It seems to me now every person should take vitamins to strengthen the immune system because life depends to some extent on this.
I have used these vitamins and like them. It is really important to boost your immune system.
Dana,
These are some of the best vitamins when it comes to getting them into the blood stream. They dissolve in no time and get absorbed into the bloodstream in seconds.
This was very informative thanks .
Welcome, Tony,
That’s what we like doing – to empower our readers.
I’m currently taking B12, D and Zinc.
This is awesome, Leela,
All you need to keep your immune system humming.
There are so many benefits to taking vitamins every day, and I love how easy this brand is to take! One thing that my kids always have every day is Vitamin C, and they hardly ever get sick.
Lauryn,
Vitamin C by Superior Source is so yummy, tastes lemony without any added sugar.
Its hard when the flu hits. I have only had it get my family 2 times but man was it bad.
Monica,
Yes, it is a toughy when your family is not well and down with cold symptoms and flu.
Caring for everyone, please take good care of yourself as well.
I would like to add zinc and vitamin D
probiotics. I need to add them back into my supplement routine.
Elicia,
Yes, probiotics and prebioticas are super effective for our immune system and all the organs.
I take vitamin C, B12, D, Iron, and so on since my immune system betrays me most of the time. I never heard of sublingual vitamins for colds, thanks for the sharing!
Mae,
Check them out. These vitamins have zero added sugar and are NON-GMO, too.
They melt under the tongue within seconds.
This looks like it would be such a great product! What a great stocking stuffer idea for someone over the holidays.
I added zinc to my Juice Plus routine when all the pandemic stuff hit! Knock on wood, I am still healthy as ever!!!
I use these vitamins and I’m obsessed with them.
Rachel,
You are a huge fan of these microlingual vitamins, wow!
Yes, they are so convenient and effective. I like them, too.
I take Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D daily and I honestly think they help to keep me healthy in the winter months.
Krysten,
You think right. As research tells us these vitamins taken year round support and boost our immune system.
Plus vitamin C and zinc reduce a severity of a cold and lessen its duration.
We recently stocked up on our vitamins because it was getting cooler here in Florida. When the weather drops, so does our immune system.
Fatima,
That’s what I do as well: load up on a bigger doze of vitamin C and include zinc lozenges if any first signs of cold pop in.
I wish it’s available in my area
Nikki,
I don’t where you are, but they do sell on Amazon.
I take vitamins a lot since I believe that it really helps with our well being. Thanks for this recommendation.
Ryan,
I’ve been researching the effects of vitamins, their different types and formulations. It is quite a fascinating area that I plan to outline in my new post.
I always try to stay on top of my vitamins. i hate getting sick.
Kita,
I take the preventatives like vitamin C all year round. And with the first signs of cold, I load up on it plus Zinc.
I don’t usually add anything different. I might take some extra vitamin C if I feel like I am coming down with something!
Amanda,
I usually alternate different vitamin and supplement regimen all year round. But I do take vitamin C and include whole foods rich in it all year round. We cannot prevent onset of colds or flu, but we sure can reduce their duration. Look up the studies in the post I reference.
I am a big believer in pumping in the vitamins and supplements to help combat nasty viruses!
Monica,
Your choice of words is unique and powerful!
These would be wonderful gifts, especially for stocking stuffers. Vitamins are so important too. They’d make for a great gift for anyone.
Kathy,
I would give these vitamins to my family members, as I do know what they need.
I take multi-vitamins daily and I believe Vitamin C will be very helpful to fight off these viruses.
Derrick,
Quality supplements for sure boost our immune system and help it in fighting flu and colds.
These are supplements that I take. I love the prices of these supplements
Tara,
The sublingual supplements are much less expensive than regular vitamins.
I love Superior Source. I take several of their supplements. I can really feel a difference with their delivery system.
Claudia,
I like their sublingual vitamins, as they are so easy to take.
I add Vitamin C during the winter months.
Terri,
As the studies suggest, we need to take vitamin C all year round (or eat foods rich in it) to lower the duration of colds and flu. But vitamin C cannot prevent us from catching a cold. Look up some links in my post referring the studies.
I take D3 and B12 in the winter.
Ann,
This is a powerful combo, as they clinical studies prove that both vitamins are super critical in preventing and fighting viruses and infections.
I always take vitamin d and calcium but add vitamin c to my regimen in winter to help boost my system to keep from getting sick
Chasta,
You’re on your solid path to boost your immune system to fight off those nasty viruses and infections.
