As we have discussed in previous posts, there are many ways to boost your immunity naturally, including through exercise, diet and sleep. In this post, we will delve into the value of supplements for boosting your immunity.
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a crucial nutrient for a healthy immune system. To get the most benefits, it is recommended to take a buffered form of vitamin C that is non-acidic and easy on your stomach. A good daily dose of vitamin C can range from 1000 milligrams a day or more for adults.
2. Zinc
Zinc is another essential mineral that plays a vital role in your immune system. In my opinion the best forms are: zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, or zinc sulphate, with a recommended daily dose of 10 to 25 milligrams for adults.
3. Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is a powerful natural supplement that has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. A good way to take oregano oil is to put 20 drops in a small glass of water or juice, or if you don’t like the taste put it in an empty veggie capsule and take it twice a day.
4. Garlic
Garlic is another powerful supplement with antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can be eaten or found in supplements in the form of liquid, tablets or capsules.
5. Astragalus
Astragalus is a herb that has been used for centuries to boost the immune system and protect against respiratory tract infections. It can be found in supplements in the form of liquid, capsules or tablets.
It's important to note that before taking any supplements, you should always consult with your healthcare practitioner to ensure that they are safe for you to take.
