Choosing the right immune system supplements
-
Determine your goals: Select immune supplements based on your health goals, such as boosting your natural defences, enhancing gut health, or filling nutrient gaps. This focus will direct you to the right supplement choices for your needs.
-
Choose the right combination: A combination of vitamins such as C and D, along with superfoods like matcha and bone broth, can provide a comprehensive, overall boost to your immunity.
-
Complement your diet: Ensure your supplements add to your diet in a meaningful way. For instance, if your diet lacks fruits or vegetables, choosing a supplement high in antioxidants can help make up for what's missing, providing immune support.
-
Check for interactions: Review the active ingredients and levels in each supplement, check for allergens, and ensure any supplement doesn't clash with any current medications. If you’re unsure, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
-
Monitor your progress: After starting any supplement, pay attention to how it impacts your health, including both positive and negative changes. It may be helpful to keep a diary of your overall physical and mental health for a few weeks or months to help you notice any change. You can then adjust your choices as needed.
