Sudden changes in your health regimen stress the system and can result in illness. vitamin C in particular can cause a chemical imbalance if taken, starting suddenly, in large doses. Try working up a little bit at a time over several months. It probably won't do any good as far as colds. It should help you to keep from getting sick from taking too much too quickly though. I think both of these substances might be toxic in excessivly large doses over time.
