I don't think any of the studies factored in when the subject ingested Vitamin C or echinacea. Either is most effective if you catch the very earliest warning signs of an oncoming cold and THEN take your preventative. Once you've gotten the sickness, you're stuck with it. You can sometimes, not always, head it off at the pass if you get your timing just right. Plus, do other things, like get plenty of rest at that crucial moment.
