“…Fourteen literature reviews and two meta-analyses focused on diet or physical activity (Table 2), [28–43]. Diets enriched with vitamin C, marine fatty acids, or selenium did not have any effect on asthma control [28–30]; neither did restricting sodium or eliminating monosodium glutamate [31,32]. Caffeine improved the peak expiratory flow (PEF), but only for four hours after consumption [33].…”

Background: Despite growing access to effective therapies, asthma control still needs improvement. Many non-drug factors, such as allergens, air pollutants and stress also affect asthma control and patient quality of life, but an overview of the effectiveness of non-drug interventions on asthma control was lacking. Objectives: To identify non-drug interventions likely to improve asthma control. Methods: A systematic review of the available literature in Medline and the Cochrane Library was conducted in March 2017, without any time limit. Initial searching identified 884 potentially relevant clinical trial reports, literature reviews and meta-analyses, which were screened for inclusion using criteria of quality, relevance, and reporting outcomes based on asthma control. Results: Eighty-two publications met the inclusion criteria. In general, the quality of the studies was low. Patient education programmes (22 studies) significantly improved asthma control. Multifaceted interventions (10 studies), which combined patient education programmes with decreasing exposure to indoor allergens and pollutants, significantly improved asthma control based on clinically relevant outcomes. Renovating homes to reduce exposure to allergens and indoor pollutants improved control (two studies). Air filtration systems (five studies) were effective, especially in children exposed to second-hand smoke. Most measures attempting to reduce exposure to dust mites were ineffective (five studies). Dietary interventions (eight studies) were ineffective. Promoting physical activity (five studies) tended to yield positive results, but the results did not attain significance. Conclusion: Twenty-six interventions were effective in asthma control. Simultaneously combining several action plans, each focusing on different aspects of asthma management, seems most likely to be effective.

“…In comparison, ordinarily regulated vitamin C has reduced the cold cycle, suggesting an organical impact. [10] tried to determine the effect of vitamin C in the treatment of Asthama and found no significant participation of vitamin C. In addition, the study concluded that its effect on asthama must be explored in the extensive use of Vitamin C. The same result was confirmed by Kaur B., Rowe B.H., Stovold E. (2013) [9] in their research work titled "Vitamin C supplementation on Asthama".…”

Vitamin C is an organic compound with chemical formula C6H8O6 and earlier called as Hexuronic acid. In many plant and creature species, it is essential to life and is central to people's fundamental dietary chart. There is always a popular topic of debate and study about how vitamin C is beneficial to alleviate different human health conditions. Upon review of numerous pieces of literature, researchers found that vitamin C would actually treat many health conditions in humans to a certain degree. This review highlights the role of Vitamin C on Common Cold, Asthama, BP, Fertility, Immunity, tissue Regeneration and Cancer. Vitamin C, in particular, is an appealing product for advertisers to understand the implications and results of the consumption of vitamin C. However, this can differ from one patient to another. The ill impact of vitamin C utilization as core drug should not be overlooked either.

“…Recent attention has been drawn to the potential of dietary changes and antioxidant supplementation in reducing the harmful effects of pollution in healthy populations and in individuals with conditions like asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases ( 64 ). Further, nutrient synergy may be an advantageous strategy as there are mixed data regarding supplementation with single vitamins for respiratory health ( 65 , 66 ). Indeed, most studies which observed a benefit of antioxidant supplementation on protection against environmental pollutants involve both vitamin A and C ( 64 ).…”

Nutrient synergy: definition, evidence, and future directions

Nutrient synergy refers to the concept that the combined effects of two or more nutrients working together have a greater physiological impact on the body than when each nutrient is consumed individually. While nutrition science traditionally focuses on isolating single nutrients to study their effects, it is recognized that nutrients interact in complex ways, and their combined consumption can lead to additive effects. Additionally, the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) provide guidelines to prevent nutrient deficiencies and excessive intake but are not designed to assess the potential synergistic effects of consuming nutrients together. Even the term synergy is often applied in different manners depending on the scientific discipline. Considering these issues, the aim of this narrative review is to investigate the potential health benefits of consuming different nutrients and nutrient supplements in combination, a concept we define as nutrient synergy, which has gained considerable attention for its impact on overall well-being. We will examine how nutrient synergy affects major bodily systems, influencing systemic health. Additionally, we will address the challenges associated with promoting and conducting research on this topic, while proposing potential solutions to enhance the quality and quantity of scientific literature on nutrient synergy.
