The remaining ingredients, Zinc and Selenium also work well as immune boosters and aid in fighting bacteria.

This formula is great to be used as a preventative, taking one tablet a day. If you are in the throes of a cold or flu, you may take up to 4 tablets a day. I like this supplement, not only because of the excellent selection of herbs in the formula but also because of the strength of those herbs which is obviously very important

Whilst we’re thinking of immune health, it is also important to address our gut health. Why? Because our gastrointestinal tract is home to our immune system. More white blood cells, which are the protector of our immune system, are produced in our gut than anywhere else in our body. That, to my mind, is a very good reason to address our gut health. If you don’t take a probiotic, now may be very good time to start.
