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.

The disease scurvy is prevented and treated with vitamin C-containing foods or dietary supplements. Evidence does not support use in the general population for the prevention of the common cold.
