Vitamin C is a powerful immune system support. 1000 mg/day is the recommmended dosage to prevent colds and common infections.
If you still feel a cold coming on, increase the dosage to 100 mg/ every 2 hours, combined with 2 Echinacea capsules. Take 1 zinc lozenge per day. Continue until bedtime, and if symptoms persist the next morning, continue for one more day. Symptoms should disappear.
Linus Pauling, the only person to win two Nobel Prizes, did extensive research on C and made these recommendations. Personal experience has validated it over and over.
Echinacea is an immune system strengthener but is only effective for short-term treatment. Don't take it daily. If you are really sick, 2 weeks is the limit. It loses its efficacy if taken regularly.
BTW, humans and guinea pigs are the only mammals that don't produce their own Vitamin C.

A powerful breakthrough in building up the immune system is the clinically tested, natural interferon booster - NutriFeron.
NutriFeron is a patented, clinically proven blend of immune-strengthening plant extracts. Taken daily, NutriFeron strengthens immune response by boosting the body's natural interferon.
Dr. Kojima, the world renowned immunologist who discovered interferon in 1954, spent 40 years searching for a natural interferon booster.
The result of Dr. Kojima's work is the proprietary botanical blend in NutriFeron, the ONLY dietary supplement in the U.S. created by the discoverer of interferon that naturally increases the production of interferon in the body.
The formula for NutriFeron is proven by four published human clinical studies.
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

Foods such as garlic, B-1,3-D glucan, olive leaf (extract), echinacea, ginseng, astralgalus, goldenseal, lemon balm, modified citrus pectin, carnivora (venus fly trap), some mushrooms and plant sterols can be useful.
Nutrient deficiency is a well-known cause of immune system malfunction.

Multivitamin is any preparation containing more than a single vitamin. Multivitamin is intended to provide a proper dietary balance by supplementing the diet with additional vitamins and minerals.
