Default Improving Immune System

All,

I am generally very prone to getting small illnesses such as colds and flus and whatever happens to be going around. I would like to improve my immunity to everyday illnesses and am wondering what vitamins/supplements I can take for this. Thanks.

-Michael

were you prone to colds before then?

I never seemed to get these minor sicknesses despite having a lifestyle of Chris Farley in college. It's probably largely genetic.

Hopefully no one tells you that this doesn't do anything...

go to a preschool, lick everything, contract every type of cold, and then you will be immune to all of them.
