It's not always easy to get all the micronutrients needed through diet alone to keep our immune system strong and efficient. In these cases, supplementation can offer valuable support. Quality supplements, taken responsibly and combined with a healthy lifestyle, can help fill any deficiencies and support the body's defenses, especially during critical periods, under conditions of increased stress, or in the case of recurrent infections.
What should you take to strengthen your immune system?
Vitamin D3
-
- It modulates innate and adaptive immunity, improves T-cell and macrophage function. Insufficient vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of respiratory infections. Dosage: 1000–4000 IU/day based on serum levels (to be assessed with a blood test and professional advice).
In the NUTRIFARMA line there are various products including VIT D3 2000 ui or VIT D3+K2 where K2 further promotes bone metabolism and the regular absorption of D3.
Vitamin C
-
- A powerful antioxidant, it improves phagocyte function and interferon production. It reduces the duration and severity of flu and cold symptoms. Dosage: 500–1000 mg/day, divided as needed.
The answer that NUTRIFARMA provides is with the VIT C 1000Where is the maximum daily dosage of Vitamin C?
Prebiotic strains
-
- They create a microbiota rich in strains that affect the immune system. They increase the activity of macrophages and NK lymphocytes, key cells of the immune system. Various strains are used, including: Lactobacillus reuteri, Saccharomyces boulardii, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus plantarum. The dosage should be at least 15–20 billion mixed cultures from those listed.
The answer to this need comes in the NUTRIFARMA line from a complex of dedicated probiotics such as ECOFORL PLUS with 23 billion live lactic ferments, 3 billion S. Boulardii
There is also a pool of molecules with synergistic action that all act to strengthen the immune system such as:
Lactoferrin
-
- Milk protein with antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulatory action.
It inhibits viral replication, promotes the activation of NK lymphocytes and iron sequestration (limiting bacterial growth).
Glutamine
-
- An essential amino acid during stressful conditions (intense exercise, trauma, infections). A key nutrient for lymphocytes and macrophages. Especially useful for athletes
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
-
- A precursor to glutathione, the main intracellular antioxidant. It has mucolytic and indirect antiviral effects. Useful in preventing recurrent respiratory infections.
Arginine
-
- Amino acid precursor of nitric oxide, with immunomodulatory effects. It supports lymphocyte proliferation and macrophage response.
Zinc
-
- Zinc deficiencies are associated with an increased susceptibility to infections. An enzyme cofactor in over 300 biochemical reactions. Essential for T-cell function and epithelial regeneration. Dosage: 10–30 mg/day, preferably in picolinate or gluconate form.
Echinacea
-
- A traditional immunostimulant plant, useful in the prevention and initial stages of colds and flu. It increases the activity of macrophages and NK lymphocytes, key cells of the immune system. Dosage 100/200 mg.
All these active ingredients are present in a formulation studied by the NUTRIFARMA research centre which with its IMMUNAC has long been a point of reference for integration aimed at this purpose
Taking care of your immune system is a long-term wellness choice
The immune system is not an isolated entity, but a sophisticated ecosystem that responds dynamically to external and internal stimuli. correct lifestyle, one constant physical activity, one varied and nutrient-rich diet and a targeted integration can make the difference between an efficient response and prolonged vulnerability.
Taking care of your immune system means investing in your long-term well-being: not only avoiding seasonal flu, but also improving your body's overall balance, recovery ability, and quality of life.
