Staying healthy can be challenging, especially during cold, flu, or allergy season. Fortunately, several science-backed supplements can help boost your immune system and keep you on track.
- Resveratrol: Found in grapes and berries, this polyphenol has strong antioxidant properties. It reduces inflammation and supports the body’s defense against infections.
- Vitamin D: Known for its role in modulating immune responses, it helps reduce inflammation and may lessen the severity of flu and autoimmune symptoms.
- Astragalus: A traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus promotes immune cell growth, reduces inflammation, and helps scavenge harmful free radicals.
- Echinacea: This popular herbal remedy has been shown to reduce common cold symptoms and has long been used to support recovery from illness.
- Zinc: Essential for immune health, zinc supplements can shorten the duration of a cold and alleviate symptoms like sore throat, cough, and muscle aches.
For personalized advice on the best immune support supplements, consult a naturopathic doctor who can tailor recommendations to your individual health needs.
