Our immune system is a complex collection of cells, processes, and chemicals that constantly and remarkably defends our bodies against disease-causing microorganisms- may it be bacteria, toxins, or viruses.
Keeping it healthy all year round is key to preventing infection or disease. Eating nutritious food, getting enough sleep, and keeping ourselves fit are just some of the healthy lifestyle choices we can make to boost our immune system.
Some research has also shown that taking supplements to boost our immune system can strengthen our body’s responses to the pathogens around us.
Here are seven supplements that are known for their immune-boosting potential:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C L-Ascorbic Acid more commonly known as Vitamin C Powder is 100 % Pure Pharmaceutical and Food Grade and GMO Free. It is one of our 7 immunity superstars because it is known to clear out old cells and replace them with new ones, thus enhancing the immune cells’ function. It also helps maintain healthy skin that provides a barrier against harmful invaders.
Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant and protects our body from oxidative stress- linked to various diseases. Studies showed that an average dose of 1-2 grams of Vitamin C every day could reduce the duration of the common cold by 8 percent.
