Pardon, I was only thinking about its use for common colds which is the context I constantly hear people harping on (and the subject of the post right?). I’m less familiar with the lit on its use for cancer.
Though I will say the summary of various metanalysis on Wikipedia makes it sound far less positive than you did. If there’s other/newer/better metas then someone should add them to wiki.

- thenerdhead 3y agoAh gotcha, such is the case with any controversial thing. The reality is much more mixed. Vitamin D is a good example of what the opposite looks like. Mostly positive entries but is largely debated. Maybe in another 50 years we will have more data.
