We start these things as soon as I have a hint of feeling off.
We choose these because:
Elderberry is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds that help support the immune system by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the replication of viruses. Taking elderberry at the onset of illness may shorten the duration and severity of cold or flu symptoms, promoting faster recovery.
Echinacea stimulates the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which help fight infections more effectively. Taking echinacea at the first sign of illness may reduce the duration and intensity of symptoms, particularly in upper respiratory infections like colds.
Zinc supports immune function by promoting the production of immune cells and reducing inflammation, helping the body combat infections more effectively. Taking zinc at the onset of illness may shorten the duration of colds and alleviate symptoms by inhibiting viral replication in the respiratory tract.
Standard Process's Zinc Chelate provides highly bioavailable zinc, which supports immune function, tissue repair, and overall cellular health. Its chelated form enhances absorption and is particularly effective at bolstering immune defenses when taken at the onset of illness.
Standard Process's Antronex contains Yakriton, a bovine liver fat extract that supports the body's natural histamine response and healthy liver function. It is particularly helpful during illness to promote proper detoxification and alleviate symptoms related to excessive histamine, such as congestion and inflammation.
Other immune support options include Vitamin C, Viranon, Goldenseal, or many other herbs/supplements found through the link in our bio.
Let’s hope none of us need these, but it’s always good to have a plan!
