Not really - infact if its the same thing Im thinking about (the cold remedy) it has ZERO Vitamin C in it.

Just get some 1000mg vitamin C pills - they are really inexpensive.

TBH its strange for a cold relief medice not to have vitamin C in it - I pulled up the list of ingredients and found the following

Ingredient: Zincum Gluconicum 2x
In English: Fancy name for Zinc.

Nonactive

Ingredient: Sodium Chloride
In English: Salt (makes it more tasty to the nose).

Ingredient: Purified Water
In English: Water that is pure (it's never had sex before).

Ingredient: Benzalkonium Chloride
In English: A yellow-white powder prepared in an aqueous solution
and used as a detergent, fungicide, bactericide, and
spermicide. In others words, it helps kill stuff. One
of its promising uses is in trying to kill the HIV
virus.

Ingredient: Glycerol (Glycerin)
In English: A really cool song from the rock group, "Bush."
Glycerin is a colorless,transparent, syrupy liquid that
has no smell and tastes sweet. Used in many medicines,
foods and personal care products. I believe it is used
in Zicam as a solvent.

Ingredient: Hydroxyethylcellulose
In English: This is used as a thickener, protective colloid,
binder, stabilizer,and suspending agent, particularly
in applications where a nonionic material is desired.

Ingredient: Sodium Hydroxide
In English: The main uses of sodium hydroxide are in chemical
manufacturing (pH control,acid neutralization, off-gas
scrubbing and catalyst); pulp and paper manufacturing;
in petroleum and natural gas industry (removing acidic
contaminants in oil and gas processing); manufacture of
soap and detergents and other cleaning products; and
cellulosics, such as rayon, cellophane and cellulose
ethers; cotton mercerizing and scouring. Other uses
include water treatment, food processing, flue-gas
scrubbing, mining, glass making,textile processing,
refining vegetable oils, rubber reclamation, metal
processing, aluminum processing, metal degreasing,
adhesive preparations,paint remover, disinfectant,
rubber latex stabilizer and stabilization of sodium
hypochlorite. Hey, your guess is as good as mine.
