It’s more important than ever to look after our immune systems right now due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Are you doing everything possible to protect yourself and your family in the ways that may make the biggest difference of all ? You must do everything you can right now to boost your immune system so its as strong as it can possibly be.
Here are our top supplement suggestions to do just that:
VITAMIN C
We have known vitamin C to possess many health benefits for some time now, and recently its been discovered to be one of the strongest immune system supplements. Vitamin C has shown to shorten the duration of infections like pneumonia, malaria, and the common cold. Elderly people experience a natural drop in vitamin C levels, but studies show vitamin C supplements enhance weakened immune systems, despite their drop. Vitamin C deficiency also leads to a reduction in collagen production. This reduction in collagen levels leads to your body adding more quickly, including the immune system. Beyond general immune system function, studies suggest vitamin C supplementation may play a part in preventing cancer. Animal studies accentuate how important vitamin C is for the immune system. In animals which cannot produce vitamin C naturally (like humans) Vitamin C supplementation greatly enhances the immune system.
COLLOIDAL SILVER
A remedy from the old days, colloidal silver has been used for centuries to stop infectious diseases and promote a healthy immune system. What does “colloidal” mean? A colloid is something which cannot be seen because it is thoroughly dissolved into its solution. In this case, colloidal silver is made of silver particles invisibly dissolved into water. Under various conditions, colloidal silver can curb the spread of bad bacteria. How colloidal silver works could be explained for hours, but the important answer is that colloidal silver as an antioxidant, and as we know antioxidants remove potentially damaging oxidizing agents in a living organism. Spraying colloidal silver on skin conditions such as dermatitis can also greatly improve the condition as well as cuts, scrapes and skin infections. It’s been known to be called magic because no matter what its used for, it always helps.
PROBIOTICS
Because the immune system is influenced by the digestive tract, it is important to consume probiotic foods and supplements. Probiotics are good bacteria which aid in digestive health and support your immune system function. Gut health benefits of probiotics extend to immune health. Probiotics strengthen the mucus wall in our stomachs that protect against viruses and harmful bacteria. Sauerkraut & Kombucha are full of probiotics and are wonderful to take daily along with a probiotic supplement. One probiotic tablet or powder a day is a very small price to pay (generally between 50c – $1 a day) for all the benefits it gives your body and especially your immune system.
