The modern life can be characterized as fast paced, rushed, and activities filled day! Coupled with environmental pollution, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and existing health issues, it can be an enormous strain on our immune system. This strain can result in our getting frequent infections and experiencing higher severity of complications.

As the immune system collaborates with a collection of different systems – it is important to ensure these systems in our body are working efficiently and in harmony with each other. Studies have shown that in addition to regular exercise, healthy diet, enough sleep, and stress reduction, supplements may play a role in supporting a healthy immune system. Importantly, not all supplements have the same ability to increase our immune system!
