I'm betting mostly on vitamin D. A study in Norway showed that flu and pneumonia deaths decreased dramatically during the summer, when serum levels of vitamin D were around 80 nmol/l. During the winter, when serum levels of vitamin D dropped to around 50, deaths from those diseases increased markedly. Some studies on NIH (add NIH to the end of your search string) show no benefit from vitamin D supplementation, but the serum levels were in the 60-65 range:

On the other hand, Linus Pauling said vitamin C was the answer, so I take both.
