Supplements that increase the body's immunity

Taking care of immunity for most of us is associated primarily with the autumn and winter period, when susceptibility to infections - bacterial, viral and fungal - is the highest. In fact, however, we can become infected with them throughout the year, which is why it is worth taking care of our immune system systematically, using home methods and natural dietary supplements with high efficiency. We explain how the immune system works, how to support its operation and recommend preparations that are safe for the body and increase the body's resistance.

How does the immune system work?

The immune system - also called the immune system - is a strong protective barrier that nature has equipped us with in the fight against infections - viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and other pathogens. It is distributed throughout the body. It is a complex network of cells and tissues that work together to fight harmful agents that enter our body, attacking the respiratory tract, for example. Immunity is the body's defensive reaction to the above-mentioned factors. There are two types of immunity:

• non-specific immunity - it means the body's constant readiness to fight harmful factors through protective barriers, such as skin and mucous membranes. Their condition significantly affects non-specific immunity. Antibacterial components are also found in body secretions, saliva and tears. It is the non-specific immunity that causes the activation of phagocytes in the lymph nodes, temperature increase, coughing or sneezing.
• Specific immunity - is a defensive reaction of the body directed against a specific pathogen. The body defends itself against the pathogen by producing immune cells - T and B lymphocytes - white blood cells that transform into specific antibodies needed to fight a specific bacteria or virus. Specific immunity, needed to defend against specific pathogens, is acquired, which is why it is so important to take care of our immune system.

Weakened immune system - diseases

The immune system primarily functions as a shield that defends us against bacteria and microorganisms that cause ailments such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, abdominal pain or headaches. Most of the time, these are harmless symptoms associated with a cold. Unfortunately, a weakened immune system can also lead to influenza, after which complications can be very serious; as well as dangerous viral, bacterial and fungal infections. Very often, the weakening of the immune system is due to stress and fatigue, but it can also be the result of anemia, diabetes or HIV infection. Drugs also negatively affect the immune system.

What should we do to strengthen the immune system?

The lifestyle we lead has a huge impact on the functioning of our immune system. For this reason, it is important to take care of the optimal temperature in the house - it should be around 19-22 degrees, as well as air humidity. Make sure you spend time outdoors regularly and get enough exercise. Physical exercise improves metabolism and circulation. In addition, endorphins are released, thanks to which we feel happier, we have more strength to overcome the stress that accompanies us in everyday life. It is also worth trying to gradually harden the body. However, the most important thing is to provide the body with all the valuable nutrients, vitamins and minerals - which should be done both through a balanced diet and additional supplementation.

Home remedies to boost your immunity

You can use home remedies to boost your immune system. They are primarily used to enrich the daily diet with vitamins A, C and E, which are often lacking in our diet. Unfortunately, eating only what we like, it is difficult to provide the right amount of nutrients necessary to strengthen immunity. For this reason, our grandmothers made sure to eat fresh vegetables and fruits on a regular basis. In winter, when it is difficult to obtain these, many people introduce silage, raspberry juice or onion syrup to their diet. Garlic and ginger, as well as drinking infusions of herbs - for example, chamomile or cistus - can have a positive effect on improving immunity.

Natural dietary supplements for immunity - very effective and safe for the body

The most effective way to improve immunity, however, is the use of dietary supplements based on natural ingredients. They contain vitamins and trace elements naturally occurring in nature in optimal doses, in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Immunity pills may contain only one concentrated ingredient that we want to supplement or a complex of several. Some of them are substances that the body cannot synthesize on its own, so they must be supplied from the outside. We offer effective preparations for immunity available without a prescription, for adults and older children. Among other products available on the market, they are distinguished by their condensed power and form, which enables good absorption.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a compound that is widely used in medicine and cosmetics. Its regular supplementation has many advantages: vitamin C has a very positive effect on the condition of the skin and delays the aging process, supports the work of the circulatory system, and, above all, has gained great popularity as a way to fight autumn and winter infections. It is worth, first of all, to use vitamin C preventively, because if taken regularly it can prevent diseases. Particularly impressive results are obtained by supplementing with vitamin C in athletes and people who exercise regularly.

Vitamin C Forte

There are many preparations with vitamin C available on the market - many of them, however, are characterized by very low effectiveness, because they contain only small amounts of vitamin C - this applies especially to the cheapest tablets available in pharmacies and supermarkets. Don't be fooled by offers to sell "left-handed vitamin C" - this is a scam, vitamin C is always right-handed, and the letter "L" refers to the arrangement of molecules. Among the preparations with vitamin C available on the market, it is worth paying attention to the product: Vitamina C Forte. which, thanks to the use of the latest production technology, allows you to provide a large dose of vitamin C in one serving. Vitamin C contained in this supplement is highly absorbable and allows you to comprehensively take care of your health.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin - this is due to the fact that when we expose the body to sunlight, it is produced in our body from cholesterol. Unfortunately, in the Polish climate, the number of sunny days per year is too low, so basically everyone should supplement this vitamin. It is primarily responsible for bone mineralization and the proper development of the skeletal system. Importantly, vitamin D3 also allows you to effectively prevent the development of infections and strengthen the body during illness.

• improving the body's immunity, effective prevention of infections;

Zinc

Zinc is one of the most important micronutrients for health, without which our body cannot function properly. The effect of zinc on improving the body's immunity has been clinically proven. Scientists from the Indian Postgraduade Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh have proven in clinical trials that taking zinc within 24 hours of the onset of cold symptoms visibly shortens the duration and intensity of the disease. Zinc can also make the body more resistant to viruses, in particular some of the rotaviruses.

Why is it worth supplementing with zinc?

• effective especially in viral infections and infections with some of the rotaviruses; its deficiency increases susceptibility to viral infections;

• regular use of preparations with zinc can also bring other health benefits, for example, affect the condition of the skin, reduced tendency to acne or the hormonal system in men.

These are tablets containing zinc in a form distinguished by high bioavailability, in the form of lactate ions. Zinc tablets provide 100% of the daily dose of zinc needed.

Omega-3 fatty acids

While most of us try to limit the amount of fat in our diet, this should by no means apply to healthy, unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA and EPA. They play a very important role in the body: they affect the proper functioning of the brain, nervous system and cell membranes. They also support the body in fighting infections and reduce inflammation. Their appropriate level is of particular importance for children whose immune systems are still developing.

Health benefits of omega-3 supplementation:

What to watch out for when using dietary supplements for immunity?

Supplements that increase immunity can be an effective way to support the body in the fight against infections. However, it should be remembered that they cannot replace a balanced diet, rich in various nutrients. It is worth using them additionally throughout the year and in periods when we are particularly exposed to illness. At the same time, you should remember about movement and a hygienic lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of the supplement, as it may cause some side effects. Although the supplements in our offer are based on natural ingredients, you should always pay attention to contraindications. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
