Autumn Immune
Share
With the arrival of autumn and the coldest days, many people are concerned about their health and are looking for ways to strengthen their immune system. Although there is no magic pill that guarantees immunity against colds and flu, there are certain supplements that can help increase the body's resistance to illness. Here is a list of lifestyle tips you can follow to help improve your immune system:
- Maintain a healthy diet : A balanced, nutrient-rich diet can help your body get the nutrients it needs to function properly. Make sure you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats to keep your body in good health.
- Getting enough sleep: Lack of sleep can negatively affect the immune system. Make sure you get enough sleep every night, and try to follow a regular sleep schedule.
- Reduce stress: Chronic stress can have a negative effect on the immune system. Look for ways to reduce stress in your life, such as meditation, yoga, or therapy.
- Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help improve the immune system by reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Aim to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
- Wash your hands frequently: Wash your hands frequently to reduce the spread of germs and illnesses. Use warm water and soap, and wash for at least 20 seconds.
Additionally, there are some supplements you can take to improve your immune system and fight colds:
- Vitamin D: Vitamin D is known for its role in bone health, but it is also essential for immune system function. Most people get their vitamin D from the sun, but during the winter months, sun exposure may be limited. Taking a vitamin D supplement can help improve the immune response and reduce the risk of respiratory infections.

- Vitamin A: Vitamin A is another important nutrient for immune health. It helps maintain healthy mucous membranes, which are the body's first line of defense against respiratory infections. It is also a powerful antioxidant, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Taking a vitamin A supplement can be beneficial in strengthening the immune system and reducing the risk of respiratory infections.
Our Nutrisorb vitamin A provides 2500 IU for every two drops.
- Vitamin C: Vitamin C is perhaps the most well-known supplement for boosting immunity. It is a powerful antioxidant that is very important for the health of our body. It also stimulates the production of immune cells, such as white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections. Taking a vitamin C supplement can help strengthen the immune system and reduce the duration and severity of colds.

- Zinc: is an essential mineral that helps strengthen the immune system and fight infections, affecting the function of immune cells. It also helps in the production of proteins and DNA and decreases inflammation in the body. Try our zinc supplement if you have recurring infections. Our zinc drop and capsule formats can be a good option to accompany your autumn.
- Probiotics: These are beneficial bacteria that live in the digestive tract and help maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria. They can also help strengthen the immune system by helping to prevent infections and reduce inflammation in our body. BioCare probiotics contain the exclusive LAB4 strain consortium and are a specific combination of bacteria that can help improve your immunity as well as your digestive and intestinal health.
