Lately I have been recommending certain supplements to my patients that primarily focus on stimulating the immune system and can be taken for wellness/maintenance purposes. These herbal supplements are ones I am currently taking as well.
1. Camu: A lot of discussion has been presented as to the benefits of high-dose Vitamin C during this time. Camu is a berry that contains the 2nd highest source of naturally occurring Vitamin C for any fruit and has worked out well for patients of mine who take it during the cold and flu season as a preventative.
2. Astragalus (Root): This herb is a fantastic immune stimulant and according to the Supreme Nutrition Products line where my patients purchase these herbs, "It is the number one herb used in China for prevention and treatment of colds, the flu, and respiratory illness." There is also very beneficial antimicrobial properties for both viruses and bacteria.
3. Herbal Complex Supplement: Similar to Dr. Shea's article which I posted yesterday, now is a good time for an herbal complex that encompasses the vitamins, minerals, and herbs into a single capsule. -Vit A, Vit C, Vit D-3, Calcium, Zinc, Selenium, Astragalus, Olive Leaf Extract, etc.
Although there are many more helpful herbs, I listed what I am doing and here is more information from Supreme Nutrition Products if interested in educating yourself.
