There are other tbings besides vitamin c that one can take to boost immunity, such as zinc, vitamin A, and numerous herbs. I am not questioning that vitamin c is useful, although 8 grams a day isn't 4x as useful as 2 grams a day. Even at 4 grams a day, most is probably excreted and not utilized. Vitamin c has some anti inflamatory effects as well, although there are a number of herbs that are antiinflamatory. Years ago I did take around 10 grams of vitamin c a day, but discontinued that, as I felt it really wasn't much more beneficial than taking 2 or 3 grams a day.
Maitake or Reishi Mushrooms can jack up the immune system as they have Beta Glucans in them, they either raise or drop your immune system as needed I have read JK98. I have the Reishi, I need to start taking it now.
I also took 10 grams a day and sometimes got dirreah and didn't really feel that much better overall, so I cut it back and then eventually switched to Acrelo Tablets which I did better on (They only contain 500mg of C too).
In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
