Good old vitamin c, and lots of it. Don't be afraid to take 3 or 4 grams divided over the day. Echinacea, a herb, is excellent for boasting the immune system. Once a cold has started to develop, vitamin c and echinacea are as powerful a combination as you can get. Take the echinacia P variety.

As vitamin C, which is a water soluable vitamin, is not stored appreciably in our body and excess amounts are eliminated rapidly, toxicity is unlikely. Overuse of vitamin C can result in Diarrhea, burning with urination, nausea, skin sensitivities etc. There is also some concern that high intake may cause kidney stones.

No.  Humans need to consume vitamin C unlike some animals whose bodies can manufacture it.

Your body will only absorb what it needs...  The problem, for me, with time-release vitamins is that they're often synthetic.\n\nHere's some info on synthetic vitamins (including vitamin C): \n\n"Taking the synthetic form of vitamin C, for example, can actually thicken the arterial walls of the heart by as much as 2.5 times which can lead to heart disease and can do harm to the body! Ascorbic acid ( synthetic vitamin C ) is the word that you need to watch out for.\n\nTaking the synthetic form of vitamin A is proven to actually increase the rate of cancer which can do more harm than good to your body! But the whole vitamin A ( from vegetables ) actually does the exact opposite. Whole Vitamin A significantly reduces the rate of cancer! Most Vitamin nutrients on the market today use stripped down synthetic vitamins rather than whole vitamins straight from vegetables and fruits like our vitamin! Why? Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper to produce.\n\nTaking the synthetic form of Vitamin E is proven to actually suck vitamins and minerals right out of the bones which can do more harm than good to the body! Once again, most vitamin supplements today are using all the synthetic vitamins because they are cheap to manufacture."\n\n"Remember, next to the name of any vitamin, if you don't see a name of a food or an asterisk leading you to a place on the label that tells you the food source of the vitamins, you are more than likely looking at an inexpensive, processed vitamin that is stripped of all other compounds that are normally present with vitamins that are found in fruits and vegetables. If you see the name of a food referenced to the vitamin, be excited to know that you are getting vitamins direct from the whole food and, therefore, you are also getting the essential precursors, enzymes, activators, antioxidants, and micronutrients (essential compounds) that are naturally found with vitamins. These essential compounds make it much easier for the body to absorb and utilize the vitamins you are taking! Your body deserves to be given the right vitamins that are essential for your good health!" \n\n(Information above quoted from http://www.newbetteryou.com )\n\nThis is why I won't use time-release formulas.  I'd rather get my vitamins and minerals from whole food sources and/or a whole food based multi-vitamin.

No. The body does not store vitamin C, so daily doses are necessary anyway.

I don't know if it has any truth in it, but when I used to get them as a child, I was told it was lack of vitamine C.\n(Could be they were trying to make me eat more fruit though ....)

I take multivitamin liquids.  The pills don't absorb entirely into your bloodstream, so you are paying for vitamins that essentially go through you and into the toilet.\n\nWrite me (jstmother) at yahoo and I can point you to a great product.  I take it every day, for over a year, and I will never quit.  They have done great things for my memory, my energy and even my cholesterol levels.

Vitamin C for starters.

The recommended daily allowance for vitamin C varies. The current recommendation for adults is 120 mg daily, although a dose of 60 mg daily is all that is required to prevent scurvy. Some experts think the level should be as high as 200 mg daily to match the level present in 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, a diet shown to decrease cancer risk.\nMegadoses of vitamin C have not been shown in clinical trials to reduce viral illnesses such as colds. Large doses of vitamin C, ie, more than 1 g/d, may increase the risk of certain illnesses such as kidney stones, particularly oxalate stones.

REST, fluids, vicks, a vaporizor w/ vicks in it, fluids, rest and did I mention fluids?  \n\nAnother thing I love using when I get sick is garlic.  I take a garlic clove and slice it into pill size slivers and swallow like a pill.  That backed up w/ Vitamin C and zinc and you should be back on your feet in no time.  The garlic kills the virus and the vitamin c and zinc boost your immunities.

ONLY water-soluble vitamins pass through! If you over-ingest fat-soluble vitamins, you'll get sick, potentially fatally sick. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and vitamin B, because your body cannot process them itself. Fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D can be produced without food.\n\nVitamins themselves do not contain calories because they are only micronutrients. Macronutrients (fat, CHO, protein) are what have calories. "Waste" (i.e., poop) is the part of the food that your body cannot extract nutrition from. If you eat 500 calories, you absorb 500 calories. But if you eat food that you cannot fully digest (like some vegetables with indigestible fiber), you'll excrete a lot ofthe vegetable because they are very low in CHO, fat, protein and, ultimately, calories.

vitamin C is an antioxidant, that is also involved in the immune system.  if you're maintaining enough vitamin C in your body, then taking more is just going to make your urine very expensive, and you will simply excrete it.  having enough vitamin C will aid in warding off illnesses, but will not guarantee it.  not having enough may incline you towards becoming sick easier as your body's immune system isn't at it's fullest.  although, while you are sick, your body may use up more vitamin C as it's fighting off the infection, so that increasing your intake to offset the increased utilization would be recommended.\n\ncolds and flus are caused by viruses however, and so there is no direct relation between not getting sick and vitamin C (again this is in your case where you probably are fine).  to defeat a virus, your body must mount the appropriate defense - this based on your previous exposures and your immune system (which for unknown reasons can vary greatly from person to person).  viruses and colds are also shared by contact with infective agents.  perhaps the reason you did not get sick, was because you were not in direct contact with your bosses (typing on the same keyboard, sharing common space) or perhaps your hygiene is better (washing your hands for 30 seconds with soap and warm water, not touching your eyes and mouth).  Finally, you could have been exposed, but your body either recognized the virus and was able to mount a quick immune response, or your immune system is simply better at fighting off infection.  Note that by the time you start showing actual symptoms, the virus has already established itself.  The symptoms are your body's response to get rid of the virus (fever, runny nose, sore throat, etc).
