Melatonin and Vitamin C
Planning my trip to Israel in early October. I’m told to expect the weather to be much like Texas, a little warmer, maybe, but not much. I am wondering how big a melatonin pill I need to start taking 1-3 days before the flight? Also how much Vitamin C to ward off the colds and other contagious stuff floating around in the airliner’s cabin? Cogitate, cogitate.

I saw a supplement site that said half a milligram works as well as 3. As for the C, a friend of mine who travels a lot swears by it. I don’t fly often but when I do I usually catch a cold, and sometimes a sinus infection.

I would say the standard sized 3mg will do, but sometimes it’s individual. I know people that swear by two of these.
As for warding off the airplane bugs – forget it. Either they get you or they don’t.
