Boosting Your Immune System: A Guide to Essential Supplements
Elise Murguia
Hey there, everyone! Today, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind lately, especially with the nastiest bugs making their rounds. It's my daughter's 10th birthday today, and unfortunately, she's feeling under the weather and we had to cancel her birthday party. It got me thinking about the importance of immune system support. So, I thought I'd share some tips and tricks with you all, including my favorite supplements from Modern Thyroid Clinic.
Say No to Sugar:
- First and foremost, let's address the elephant in the room – sugar. Did you know that consuming sugar can significantly impair your immune system's efficiency? In fact, studies suggest that your immune function drops to 1/14th of its normal efficiency after ingesting sugar. So, if you want your immune system at its best, cut down on the sweet stuff.
Green Juice Love:
- Another fantastic addition to your routine is green juice. Packed with essential nutrients, green juice can provide your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay strong. Incorporate this into your daily regimen for an extra boost.
Vitamin D:
- Now, let's talk about my absolute favorite – Vitamin D. I swear by Ortho Molecular's 50,000 IU Vitamin D supplement. Since Vitamin D is fat-soluble, you can take it in larger amounts less frequently or in smaller doses daily. I personally opt for twice a week, but adjust based on your needs.
Zinc, Your Dinner Companion:
- Zinc is another powerhouse when it comes to immune support. Take it with dinner, but remember to consume it with food to avoid any potential side effects.
The Mother Load – Orthomolecular's Viracid:
- Saving the best for last – Orthomolecular's Viracid. It's a game-changer when taken preventively. I recommend two capsules daily for ongoing immune support. If you're actively fighting off sickness or have been exposed to it, increase your intake to two capsules every two to three waking hours until you're either completely well or well on your way.
Remember, taking care of your immune system is a proactive measure. Whether you're looking to prevent illness or support your body during a tough time, these supplements can make a significant difference.
