Yes it does they are just miniscule. You're a liar.
Also, this article directly addresses it's effectiveness versus the common cold, not it's overall impact on health.

According to this research, the average adult who suffers with a cold for 12 days a year would still suffer for about 11 days a year if that person took a high dose of vitamin C every day during that year.
For the average child who suffers about 28 days of cold illness a year, taking daily high-dose vitamin C would still likely mean about 24 days of cold illness.

Anyways, my mom is a nurse and she always tells me to take Zinc. I never notice a difference but apparently it's supposed to help better than Vit C...
