Why does Vitamin C not help against colds, if they boost the immune system?
My friends looked at me like im retarded, when i said vitamin C doesn't not help prevent Colds. I did my research and i was right, but, why is that so? when Vitamin C does help boost the immune system

Vitamin C was first touted for the common cold in the 1970s. But despite its widespread use, experts say there's very little proof that vitamin C actually has any effect on the common cold.

Did vitamin C given for prevention reduce the risk of picking up a cold? The authors looked at 23 studies done in the general population, using doses of up to 2g daily, and found that vitamin C did not reduce the risk.
