The following is what I do to boost my immune system during the winter months:
Dissolve 1 effervescent Vitamin C tablet in a generous glass of water two to three times a day which helps keep you on track to taking your 8 glasses of water a day which can be harder in the cold weather. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin so don't worry what you don't need will flush out of your system.
Take 15 - 30 drops of Echinacea in a small amount of water two to three times a day after meals. If you keep the mixture in your mouth for 60 seconds all the better as it is absorbed better in the mouth.
Take 20-30 mls of freshly juiced wheatgrass every morning or second morning before breakfast. If you have time to take a warm cup of water with a half slice of lemon first, all the better as this will stimulate your digestive tract.
Take one tablet of Spirulina three times a day 30 minutes before meals.
Or try out the ChiLiving team's Elixir Drink...."the moment you feel like you may be getting sick, brew this elixir and drink it 2-3 times a day. The mixture of antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal ingredients will protect you from a full-blown illness."
