Natural Boosts!

Everyone knows that it’s important to have a healthy and strong immune system in order to avoid catching a cold, but not everyone knows the best way to accomplish this task. With so many pills and other medications on the market, it may seem overwhelming and somewhat risky to decide the best way to maintain your immune system health. One of the best and most natural ways to maintain a strong immune system is to simply drink some type of immune boosting drink.

Immune boosters are healthy, they taste great, and they’ll keep you from getting sick during cold and flu season. There are many immune boosting products on the market and it can be confusing trying to pick just one. You may have some questions about what are the best immune boosters and I have answers.


Best Immune Ingredients

Vitamin C is a must-have. Natural vitamin C rich fruits are guava, papaya, strawberries, kiwi, and, of course, oranges. Vitamin C increases white blood cell and anti-body production. Another great immune boosting ingredient to look for in your drink is vitamin E. Vitamin E can be found in most seeds, vegetable oils, and grains, but it’s hard to get more than about 60 mg a day from normal foods. Vitamin E stimulates B-cell and natural killer cell production. Some other valuable things to look for would be: beta carotene (apricots, prunes, grapefruit), bioflavenoids (found in most fruits and vegetables), zinc, selenium, and omega 3 fatty acids.



Enhance Your Immune System

Normal fruit juices are going to be easily attainable in most most stores. The best juices to look for are those that contain guava, papaya, strawberry, kiwi, orange, prune or grapefruit. Scientifically engineered drinks specifically for your immune system can also be found online or in specialty stores. Some of these include Tahitian Noni Juice, Xango juice, and Sun Dew Immune Booster. These specialty immune drinks usually contain more immune system vitamins than ordinary fruit juices.

Engineered health drink products can also be found online, such as Pharmanex G3 juice, Xango juice, Liquid Health immune boost, and Sun Dew Immune Booster. Pharmanex G3 has 100% of the daily value for vitamin C, as well as a healthy amount of vitamin A. Xango juice doesn’t specify their daily amounts, but it does contain blueberry and strawberry juices, which are both helpful for the immune system.

There are many ways to boost your immune system using drinks. Another point to consider, of course, is the flavor! Most people don’t keep drinking something they don’t like. However, with many of these important vitamins and combinations of supplements, you are sure to have a strong immune system in no time! Raise your glass and drink to immune system health!

Sun Dew's immune booster is great!
