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.
Look to citrus fruits such as oranges or grapefruits for vitamin C, which can shorten the duration of your illness. Vitamins A and E help remove viruses and bacteria from your body's mucous membranes and can be found in squash, leafy greens, broccoli, beans, carrots, eggs and berries. Crab, fish and liver are rich in zinc, which can help boost your immune system and drive your cold out faster.
