No season gives your immune system as much of a workout as winter. People spend more time close together indoors, and that togetherness extends to whatever crud they're harboring. What can you do about it other than stocking up on tissues and throat lozenges? Well, there's the normal advice. Wash your hands frequently and make sure you're getting enough shut-eye. But you can also arm yourself with natural support that helps keep your immune system strong. Some of the best-kept supplement secrets for promoting immune health include: Quercetin. An antioxidant bioflavonoid, quercetin is found in elderberry, citrus, grapes, berries, red onions, broccoli, and other fruits and vegetables. Quercetin supports a balanced inflammation response, which can increase your comfort when you're under the weather. , It also boosts the activity of other immune-supporting nutrients, such as vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D. , However, quercetin is fat-soluble, so most formulations don't dissolve well in the watery environment of the digestive tract. That makes it important to choose your quercetin supplement carefully, with bioavailability in mind. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC). Derived from the amino acid L-cysteine, NAC supports free and easy breathing. It breaks up mucoproteins, which helps fluidify bronchial and lung secretions. As a result, NAC makes it easier to breathe. Its ability to support healthy inflammatory responses also helps support respiratory health. , Bromelain. An enzyme found in pineapple, bromelain, has been shown to support respiratory health. , It helps clear airways, loosens secretions in the respiratory tract, and promotes lung capacity and function. Marshmallow. Not just a candy, marshmallow is the name of the herb originally used to make this candy. Its root contains a sticky substance that coats and soothes the mucous membranes of the throat. You can find these ingredients in two immune supplements from Natural Factors: Quercetin LipoMicel Matrix. Patent-pending technology LipoMicel solves quercetin's absorption problem by using a liquid micelle matrix to disperse quercetin into easy-to-absorb microdroplets. A bioavailability study found Quercetin LipoMicel Matrix remains in the bloodstream longer than standard quercetin and yields higher concentrations of quercetin — up to ten times higher. Lung, Bronchial & Sinus Health. This comprehensive formula nourishes and supports the whole respiratory system. It features NAC, bromelain, and marshmallow, along with additional immune-supporting herbs. These ingredients have been shown to support clear airways, loosen respiratory tract secretions and expel them from the body, promote lung capacity, soothe mucosal linings, and promote a balanced inflammation response.
