Some people swear by "Airborne" cold and flu prevention tablets, which contain a lot of C and herbs and aminos of various types. But I find them better at preventing colds than preserving them.
Here's a terrible idea that actually works: chow down two or three cloves of garlic a day, raw. Your breath will reek, but garlic actually contains a mild antibiotic and antiviral agent; you want fresh stuff. It gets you well faster, and, if you put a lot of fresh garlic in your diet on a regular basis, it'll keep you well more of the time. Like I said, it's got its drawbacks.
