5 Supplements to Boost Your Immune System Naturally
Your immune system functions to protect your body against infection and disease. What and how you eat affects your immune system; inadequate intake of selected micronutrients can lead to immune deficiency. The following chart helps to explain the role each nutrient plays in your immune system. Zinc, copper, B vitamins, and iron are also micronutrients that are critical for optimizing your immune system.
Foods have many different nutrients that simultaneously work together. Supplements do not have the same mix and can often be found in toxic dosages. Chances are if you eat an unprocessed, balanced diet you will be able to get what you need from your food to optimize immune function. To be certain you are getting the nutrients your body needs, please book an appointment with your Copeman Registered Dietitian.
