Natural Grocers® Supplement Guide

IMMUNITY

*

Seasonal change is a fact of life—from the carefree warmth of summer to the cozy chill of winter, from rosy baby cheeks to eyes wise with time. In life’s seasons, our stress levels ebb and flow, environmental toxins are ever-present, and time weakens our defenses, making supporting a healthy immune response throughout our lives critical. Consider these supplements for promoting immune system competence in every season.

Natural Grocers ® Brand N-Acetylcysteine (NAC). It’s known to its friends as NAC and supports healthy levels of glutathione, which is necessary for a balanced immune response. It also promotes healthy mucous membranes, helping to maintain respiratory and bronchial health. Natural Grocers Brand Vitamin C. It really needs no introduction, but remember, this vitamin is an MVP for your immune system and your best ally when pollen is in the air! It can provide timely immune support, helping immune cells respond swiftly. Stress, inflammation and illness can severely deplete Vitamin C, so supporting healthy immune function with a Vitamin C supplement is key.

Natural Grocers Brand Vitamin D. It’s the “sunshine vitamin,” meaning levels can be low in winter when skies are gray. Supplementing with it during this time is essential for supporting a healthy immune and inflammatory response, but it’s also vital year-round to promote a balanced immune response. Zinc Lozenges.

Zinc promotes the health of T cells, a type of immune cell that is a critical player in a strong, robust immune response. Deliciously flavored and made to dissolve under your tongue, lozenges aren’t a hard pill to swallow. Natural Grocers Brand Quercetin & Zinc. This dynamic duo is, to your immune system, like the friend who’s always there for you. Zinc plays a critical role in supporting normal immune function, and cell-based studies suggest that quercetin helps transport zinc into immune cells more efficiently. Quercetin also promotes respiratory health and comfort during the changing seasons. Love learning about how to support immune competence?
