This past month i have had a cold, tonsillitis, chesty cough and another cold. I drink 3 scoops every day in the week and normal food on the weekend. I constantly feel like my immune system is pants. Plus if my 19 month old daughter gets ill i have no chance. Thinking of getting Vitamin C supplements. Would i be overdosing on Vit C added with Huel? Just fed up of being ill all the time.
Did you have antibiotics for the tonsillitis?
You are unlikely to overdose on Vitamin C as it is water soluble and isn’t stored in your body. I also doubt that Huel is having a negative affect on your immune system. Some people are just more prone to getting colds etc. I haven’t had a cold or cough in about 4 years, never had tonsillitis. Used to get croup as a kid, and my lungs aren’t the greatest (not due to unhealthy habits but due to being born 2 months premature), I tend to stay away from people tho…

I have been through times when I succombed to every bug going, then go for years without even catching a cold. I rarely get colds these days, but now I am retired I can choose when to have contact with people…or not

Sounds like your system has been knocked sideways and it’s taking a while to recover. Hope things pick up for you soon. I think Huel is the best possible food for you right now.

Are you in London? It’s definitely doing the rounds here 
Vitamin C with Zinc effervescents I usually like having, don’t know if they actually help though. If your only having 3 scoops of Huel a day it might be worth having a multivitamin? To build your defences up, unless your getting enough vitamins in your other meals.
Corby. About 90 miles north of London. Weather and working in a big open planned air conditioned office doesnt help im sure.
I have at a proper dinner in the evening and recently another day time meal aswell. I got some 500mg Vit C chewables from tesco today, see if they help.
You say you have 3 scoops a day, is that one shake? what else do you eat on these days? If the only source of some vitamins is from a single shake then you’d only be getting like 25% of your RDA

Perhaps you have an allergy to Raging Speedhorn.
Just had to google that. Wow! A Cobry heavy metal group! 
I’ve not had the delight of seeing them perform 
I have seen them several times. It is the only thing I know about Corby. They tell me is is quite grim.
Welcome back Dave.

Yeh it used to be quite decent about 5 years ago but its pretty crap these days.
It’s also worth taking Echinacea for a while to help boost your immune system. I take the Vogel’s Echinacea tablets from time to time when I’m feeling a bit vulnerable. But like many here I also just try to avoid people!
