Given our exposure to a myriad of germs and environmental stressors at any given time, coupled with stress and sometimes insufficient diet and sleep, our immune system can be severely taxed. For overall well-being, it’s essential to maintain a healthy immune system. One of the best ways to do that is to provide your body with the necessary nutrients to fight off infections and keep you feeling your best.
Incorporating the right supplements into your daily routine can significantly enhance your immune system’s effectiveness. Two such supplements we offer at Hall Family Chiropractic Clinic are OrthoMune and Viracid. These products provide potent blends of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that synergize to support immune function.
OrthoMune: A Nutrient-Rich Formula for Immune Defense
OrthoMune is a comprehensive immune support supplement packed with essential nutrients that play a vital role in strengthening your body’s defenses. This formula features key ingredients such as quercetin, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin D, and zinc, all contributing to various aspects of immune system function.
Quercetin, a potent bioflavonoid, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help protect cells from damage and support respiratory health. Vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant, enhances immune cell activity and promotes collagen production, crucial for maintaining healthy tissues. NAC, another antioxidant, plays a role in reducing inflammation and protecting against oxidative stress.
Vitamin D, essential for calcium absorption, also contributes to immune regulation and cell growth. Zinc, a vital mineral, is involved in various immune system processes, including antibody production and T-cell function.
Enhance Immune Cell Function & Sooth Symptoms With Viracid
Viracid is a specialized supplement designed to enhance immune cell function and relieve common cold and flu symptoms. This formula contains a synergistic blend of zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A, L-lysine, and pantothenic acid, each of which plays a specific role in supporting immune response and reducing symptom severity.
Zinc, a crucial mineral for immune function, supports antibody production, T-cell activation, and natural killer (NK) cell activity. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, enhances immune cell activity and promotes collagen production.
Vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy mucous membranes, contributes to respiratory system defense. L-lysine, an amino acid, supports the production of antibodies and collagen. Pantothenic acid, involved in various bodily functions, contributes to energy production and immune system regulation.
Viracid is one of our favorite formulations for an immediate immune response. Give your immune system a little extra TLC at the first signs of needing a boost!
Incorporating OrthoMune and Viracid into Your Routine
For daily immune maintenance, consider taking two capsules of OrthoMune once or twice a day. If you’re experiencing cold or flu symptoms, you can increase the dosage to 1-2 capsules per hour or as your healthcare professional recommends. Viracid can be taken with OrthoMune for enhanced immune support during illness or increased exposure to germs.
What About Other Immune-Support Options?
Many of these products contain very high levels of vitamins and minerals that are great in short periods, but not ideal for long-term use. Immune-stimulating herbs like echinacea, Andrographis, and elderberry can be contraindicated in people with sensitive immune systems during pregnancy and breastfeeding or over long periods.
