Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, so you might benefit from taking more vitamins A and C, which can help heal that inflammation,” says Richard Gerson, Ph.D., author of The Right Vitamins.

“My advice: Take 5,000 international units of vitamin A and at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C when you have bronchitis .” Once you recover, he adds, a daily vitamin C supplement of at least 500 milligrams may prevent new cases.


“Another thing that helps you get over bronchitis more quickly is a cayenne pepper supplement, which is available in most health food stores,” adds Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and president of the Whitaker Wellness Center in Newport Beach, California. “I recommend one capsule a day containing between 40,000 and 80,000 heat units.”
