Being sick is a natural part of life, but during cold and flu season, staving off those bugs can feel like a full-time job. Whether it’s illnesses lovingly transferred by your children or coughs and sneezes in the grocery store, ailments are lurking everywhere, just waiting to strike
Adopting a simple routine of daily immunity supplements can help prevent, defend against, and recover from sickness, making it a great way to ease the impact of cold and flu season. At your local Guy’s Pharmacy, our knowledgeable pharmacists can help you set up a routine tailored for your needs. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a solid foundation that can help support you before, during, and after flu season.
Your Preventive Foundation for Immune Health
Pairing healthy lifestyle habits, like getting enough sleep, staying active, and eating a well-balanced diet, can help create a solid defense against sickness. Once you have solid habits, it’s easier to add in immunity supplements to help create an even stronger barrier against the ravages of cold and flu season.
A preventive immunity supplement is the first step in any effective wellness routine.
- Quercetin with Bromelain, (available from NOW Foods) supports antioxidant activity and a healthy histamine response, which is helpful during high-pollen or busy travel weeks when your body is faced with additional environmental factors. Pair it with vitamin C from food or supplements to help it work most effectively. You can find Quercetin with Bromelain at these Guy’s Pharmacy locations.
- Black Seed Oil (available from Bio Nutrition) or Black Cumin Seed Oil and Curcumin Elite (from Life Extension) both offer broad support for your immune system by helping promote a healthy inflammatory response and encouraging system-wide wellness. While effective, these oils can be strong in both taste and effect on digestion, so opt for soft gels if you are sensitive.
- Bio Nutirtion’s Black Seed Oil is available at our Brookhaven, Medical Center, and Crystal Springs locations.
- Life Extension’s Black Cumin Seed Oil is available at our Brookhaven, Medical Center and Tylertown locations.
Seasonally, you may also want to add Rowe Casa elderberry immune support (only available at our Brookhaven location) to your daily routine. It’s beneficial during periods of high illness exposure, helping to improve your immune system and boost overall wellness. While it can be used up to twice daily for adults, be sure to check the ingredients if you’re trying to reduce added sugars.
Kid’s Immune Support
If you’re trying to keep your young kids free from illness, we recommend ViraKid, a daily chewable complete with a child-appropriate serving of elderberry immune support, as well as vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc. Since this single supplement is so rich in vitamins, please consult our pharmacists before offering kids additional zinc or vitamin A.
- Pick up Virakid at Brookhaven and Medical Center pharmacy locations.
