1.	Vitamin C: Taking 500 milligrams a day may lower your risk of catching a cold by 66%.
2.	Echinacea: Studies show it doesn't prevent or alleviate cold symptoms. It may weaken you immune system.
3.	Cold-Eeze: Zink shortens the duration of a cold and lessens its severity. Take 3 daily at the first sign of symptoms.
