5 supplements that can help the body’s immune system

Perhaps, due to the current pandemic, and how it affects and concerns so many people, much more attention has been paid to options and alternatives related to improving our body’s immune system. Obviously, there are a number of conventional approaches and treatments/medications to address immunity, but this article will only look at 5 specific supplements and how they might have immune benefits. It is important to understand that, before using any of these, you should discuss anything you consider thoroughly with your knowledgeable and experienced healthcare professional. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly consider, examine, review, and discuss 5 supplements and their potential benefits and uses.

1. Vitamin D: The best source of vitamin D is sunlight, but many people find they need to use supplements because they don’t get enough exposure. Due to fear induced by the sun, skin cancer and/or weather etc many do not get enough of the source. This sun does this by converting cholesterol to vitamin D. Since it’s fat-based, rather than water-soluble, it’s important to use the correct amount and not exceed recommended dosages. It is believed to work by reducing/fighting inflammation and therefore enhancing immunity.

2. Zinc: Zinc has several health benefits, both by itself and in combination with other supplements, etc. It is necessary for the development of immune cells and to improve respiratory function. It has also been used successfully in conjunction with supplements, such as calcium, to protect and strengthen bones, etc.

3. Vitamin C: Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, has been discussed for its potential health benefits for decades! It is considered by many to be one of the best and most powerful antioxidants, which are essential in the battle against so-called free radicals. Also, to get this nutrition, through supplements, it is easily available in many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, etc.

Four. Garlic: Garlic is believed to be one of nature’s most powerful antiviral and anti-inflammatory elements. However, to ingest, the amount and degree of garlic, which might have desirable health benefits, could never get close to people, because of the smell it creates, too. However, some supplement manufacturers have created products with minimal or no odor (called odorless).

5. Vitamins B 12 and B 6: Many adults are diagnosed with vitamin B deficiencies, especially vitamins B12 and B6. However, these are not water soluble either and, therefore, it is essential to take only the recommended doses. These vitamins are important for maintaining a healthy immune system, and one reason for health-related problems in adults is deficiencies.

Although many believe that using supplements is a smart alternative approach to health, the ones mentioned here have been studied and are believed to have many benefits for human immunity. However, never proceed unless/until you first speak to a trusted health professional, an expert!
