There are SO many incredible ways to be currently supporting our immune system. It can seem overwhelming as to what to prioritise to be most efficient.
 
Bec has carefully compiled four TGA approved practitioner only supplements to help support prevention, treatment and recovery from C-infection (got to use abbreviation due to censorship reasons).
 
To legally prescribe these practitioner-only supplements, please book in a FREE 10 MINUTE CHAT with Bec here to check potential interactions, contraidications and current nutritional requirements.
 
What are these ESSENTIAL nutrients?
 
VITAMIN D 
- Actually more of a hormone that a Vitamin (needs a rename, but that's for another day). 
- The most important nutrient when facing C. Low levels are associated with increased risk of infection.
- Essential for both modulating and strengthening the immune system. 
- Increasing levels not only enhances immunity to C but can also reduce the severity of symptoms.
 
ZINC
Crucial for modulating innate (physical and chemical barriers, neutrophils, macrophages and NK cells) and adaptive immunity (B/T-cells and antibodies)
- Deficiency can disturb immune cells which can result in an increased susceptibility to infection.
- Potent antioxidant and anti-viral properties
- Enhances the effect of chloroquine
 
VITAMIN C
- Crucial for modulating both innate and adaptive immunity
- Stong antioxidant (important role while fighting infection)
- Inhibits and reduces inflammatory markers (cytokine storm)
- Supports mucosal immune function/creates a barrier to infection
 
QUERCETIN
- Modulates the immune system
- Interferes with DNA and RNA polymerases
- Supports viral clearance (the body ridding virusus quicker)
- Strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- Used as a anti-histmaine, so essential along-side all v@ccinations
 
N-ACETYL-CYSTEINE (NAC)
- Amino acid (protein) that is the precursor to glutathione - one of the most potent antioxidants in the body (our body makes it. Side note: Pandaol depletes our body of this crucial antioxidant)
- Strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- Suppresses viral replication
- Breaks down and clears mucus. Reduces the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia
 
SELENIUM
- Strong antioxidant and mitigates inflammatory markers (cytokine storm)
- Suppresses the life cycle and mutation to virulence of C-infection.
- Unfortuntely very depleted in our Aussie soil
 
VITAMIN A
- Crucial for modulating both innate and adaptive immunity
- Modulates inflammation
- Supports mucosal immune function/creates a barrier to infection
 
VITAMIN E
- Crucial for modulating both innate and adaptive immunity
- Modulates inflammation
- Supports mucosal immune function/creates a barrier to infection
