People have been asking me for a good, basic protocol for immune health.  From the research available, consensus is that Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, and Omega-3 are critical for supporting the immune system and minimizing your risk to the virus.

“Vitamin D helps regulate and adjust your immune system,” said Michael F. Holick, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. “It improves your ability to fight infectious diseases, including viral infections. If you think you have a healthy diet and you are getting all the nutrients and Vitamin D you need… not true,” Holick said.

 

 

“Because only oily fish like wild-caught salmon, mushrooms exposed to sunlight, and cod liver oil are the only natural forms of Vitamin D in your diet.”

You’ve got to supplement with both Vitamin D and Omega-3 to get the amount you need. I personally like using #standardprocess for the whole food benefits. I incorporated #Thymex into my protocol and #Emphaplex to boost immune function and lung support.

Here is a well-balanced approach:

Cataplex D – 3 3x/day (4800mg)
Chezyn (zinc)- 3-5/day (30-50mg)
Cataplex C – 3 3x/day
Cod Liver Oil – 4-6/day

and for extra support I add:

Thymex – 2-3 3x/day (infection, inflammation, stress)
Emphaplex – 2 3x/day (if respiratory symptoms)
