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. 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 your immune system’s MVP and your best ally when pollen is in the air! It stimulates

rapid immune support and helps immune cells respond swiftly. 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 Zinc & Quercetin. This dynamic duo is, to your immune system, like the friend who’s always there for you. Zinc is crucial for proper immune function, and quercetin supports zinc’s cellular uptake. It also supports immune system function in the respiratory tract and contains free radical scavenging phytonutrients that help maintain cellular integrity.
