No, vitamin C does not help prevent colds. A meta-analysis[1] of 10,708 participants in various studies showed that the risk ratio of contracting a cold while on vitamin C prophylaxis was 0.97 for the general populace.
There have been a lot of studies, but the findings aren't consistent. Overall, experts find little to no benefit if you use vitamin C to prevent or treat a cold. In 2010, researchers looked at all studies and found that taking vitamin C every day did not prevent the number of colds that a person got. In some cases it made symptoms improve.
