Best Supplements for the Immune System
Learn which daily supplements you need to support your body’s defenses.
When the immune system is working properly, we get protection from bacteria, viruses, and other invaders that can make us sick. If your immune system isn’t supported with healthy eating, regular exercise, and quality sleep, it can become worn down. Eventually, it can fail to deliver the protection it’s supposed to, and even begin to turn on itself in a process called inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been linked to a wide range of health conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and some cancers.
Reducing stress and eating right helps restore immune system function and reduce inflammation. But for best results, include some of the following nutritional supplements in your daily routine:
Probiotics: The typical American diet—high in sugars and refined flour—leads to an overabundance of “bad” bacteria in the digestive tract. This is a common cause of inflammation. By taking a probiotic supplement, you can add more “good” bacteria to your system to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and raise intestinal T-cell counts for a healthier immune system.
Krill Oil: Normally, the immune system is weakened immediately after exercise. Research has shown that taking fish oil after exercise can shorten the immune system’s recovery time for better post-exercise immune function. Krill oil contains DHA and EPA essential omega-3 fatty acids just like fish oil, but without the fishy taste. As a bonus, krill oil contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant with strong anti-inflammatory properties.
CoQ10: CoQ10 is an important enzyme found in the mitochondria of every cell in the body. It stimulates the immune system through its support of cell energy and circulation. Because CoQ10 diminishes with age, it is especially important to supplement CoQ10 as you get older.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: In addition to being a particularly potent antioxidant, Alpha Lipoic Acid helps make other antioxidant compounds more active and effective. This delivers a huge boost to your body’s ability to fight free radicals and prevent them from causing cell damage and inflammation. Antioxidants also encourage white blood cell production for better defense against infections.
B-Complex Vitamins: The B Vitamins play an important role in keeping nerves healthy and functioning at a high level—especially in the brain and spinal cord. This is important because nerves are responsible for sensing “an attack” (in the form of a virus, for instance), thereby triggering an appropriate immune response.
Multivitamins: A wide variety of micronutrients are needed to promote optimal immune function. Though these nutrients are found in common foods, the simplest way to get the right amount of each one is to take a quality multivitamin containing vitamins A, B-6, B-12, C, D, E, folic acid, copper, zinc, and selenium.
