Nutraceuticals, which are nutritional supplements with health benefits beyond basic nutrition, plays a role in supporting immunity during the cold and flu season. While they are not a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle, certain nutraceuticals may help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of getting sick or speed up recovery if you become ill. Here are 6 ways nutraceuticals can contribute to immune health.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of nutraceuticals can vary from person to person, and scientific evidence for some supplements is limited or inconclusive. Moreover, nutraceuticals should be used as a complement to, rather than replacement for, a balanced diet and regular exercise, proper sleep, and other healthy lifestyle practices.
Before starting any new supplement regimen, please consult with your primary care provider, especially if you have other health conditions and or take medication because some supplements can interact with medications and have side effects. Also, focusing on a well-balanced diet rich in fruits vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein should be the foundation of your immunity health.
