Supplements to Strengthen the Immune System

The season of sudden temperature changes, colds and sniffles is just about to begin. So that your defences are not caught off guard, pay close attention to today's post, where we explain what to do to protect and strengthen the immune system.

First of all, in order to understand how to strengthen theimmune system and how it works, it is important to know that it is affected by:

• Internal factors, such as autoimmune diseases or age, which we cannot control.
• External factors, such as smoking, irregular routines, a sedentary lifestyle and caffeine, which we can act on and which can weaken our immune system, making it easier to catch infections.

Tips to strengthen the immune system

This makes it very important to look after our diet. How should we do that? As our colleague and nutritionist Sandra always says, by following a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables, fermented dairy products such as yoghurt, sunflower oil, oily fish and nuts, while also establishing a sleep routine with regular hours and doing exercise.

However, being realistic, although this lifestyle should ideally be followed all year round, it is true that during times such as holidays we do not always take such good care of our diet or exercise routine.

But there is no need to panic. Once the holidays are over and we are back to our usual schedule, it is a good time to get used to a healthy lifestyle again, supported by supplements that help strengthen the immune system.

Especially if our defences are low. And how do we know if our defences are low? By looking out for symptoms such as tiredness, muscle pain, sores on the lips or noticing that our hair is more fragile than usual.

Supplements for the immune system

Sustenium Plus sachets

Sustenium Plus is formulated with more than 5 g of amino acids, no artificial colourings, vitamins, minerals and orange juice, and supports the body's natural defences while caring for the immune system.

It protects your defences against seasonal changes and temperature shifts, and during times of physical wear and tiredness, in adults over 18 years of age.

Just take one sachet a day dissolved in water, preferably in the morning with breakfast, to start the day with an extra boost of vitality.

Cebion 1000 mg Vitamin C sachets

Another food supplement for your defences is Cebion. It provides vitamin C to adults who are lacking this vitamin, which, as we should remember, is essential for our immune system.

It also helps combat tiredness and fatigue, contributes to the proper functioning of bones and muscles, helps regulate the nervous system and supports the prevention of certain health problems.

As with Sustenium Plus, the recommended daily dose is one sachet in the morning with a glass of water at breakfast.

Redoxitos soft pearls orange flavour

And for the little ones, there are the soft pearls from Redoxitos. This is a food supplement designed to strengthen the immune system in boys and girls from 5 years old who feel tired and need an extra boost of energy.

Because they are a soft sweet with an orange flavour, taking them feels fun. As for when and how to take them, children aged 5 to 8 only need one Redoxito a day, children aged 9 to 13 can take two soft pearls a day, and from the age of 14, three Redoxitos a day.
